Noteon'Delattriahenrici.'— This ^species,

named

Ornisfnya henrica

by

Lesson and^{Delattre in 1839,}

was

first describedby

as

June, ^1S27, 442)-

Ahhough

givenin awell-knownpaper, Swainson's

name

has beenentirelyignored

—

an unfortunate ^{state of affairs, since} L. amethystinus becomes the Vy^^oi

Lampornis

^{through the} delayed publication ^{of his} 'Zoological Journal' paper (Zool.Journ., HI, Dec. 1827, 358)-

Lampornis

amethys- tinus will thus

become

the proper

name

of the bird

now known

^as

Delattria ^{henrici, as} well as the type of the genus Lampornis.

The

genus long

known

as

Lampornis

willprobably havetobecalledAnthra- cothorax ^Boie.
