Recently published Ornithological Works. 709 
In the second number (June 1909) M. Gounelle describes 
a new Humming-Bird from Colombia as Polyerata cyaneo- 
tincta, allied to P. amabilis, and M. Menegaux gives us a 
list (with remarks) of a collection of birds recently received 
from Cuba. No species are new, but many of them are 
rare (Geotrygon chrysia, Todus multicolor, &c.), and form 
valuable additions to the French National Collection. 
In No. 3 (July 1909) Dr. Dubois discusses the relation¬ 
ships of the three nearly allied Asiatic Thrushes: Turdus 
fuscatus, T. naumanni, and T. ruficollis; and M. Paris writes 
notes on the birds of the Department of Cote-d'Or. 
No. 4 (August 1909) is headed by an article on a new 
species of Tanager of the genus Calliste by Mr. C. E. 
Hellmayr (now of Munich) : Mr. Hellmayr calls it Calospiza 
palmeri, but we see no reason why the prior generic name 
Calliste should be discarded. Five examples of this new and 
remarkable Tanager were obtained by Mr. M. G. Palmer in 
the district of Choco, Western Colombia. The same collector 
obtained examples of Nemosia rosenbergi, Calliste johannce , 
C. emiliee, and other rarities. In this number M. Menegaux 
records the occurrence of two examples of Dendrocycna 
arcuata at Aigues-Mortes, on the southern coast of France. 
This makes an addition to the Gallican Avifauna. Many 
other notes and notices will be found in the new Journal, to 
which we heartily wish success. 
101. Salvadori on a Species of Jay. 
[Nota intorno al Garrulus melanocephalus , Gene. T. Salvadori. Boll. 
Mus. Torino, No. 607, vol. xxiv.] 
Count Salvadori has examined the typical specimens of 
Gene's Garrulus melanocephalus in the Museum of Turin, 
and has come to the conclusion that they are not identical 
with the G. atricapillus of Geoffr. St.-Hilaire, as is usually 
supposed. He points out the differences. The locality of 
Gene's G. melanocephalus is Baalbek in Syria, not Mount 
Libanus. The exact locality for G. atricapillus is not 
known.
