Dear Mr. Lucas,

  Of the list of rejecta

sent me Feb. 16, I return the following: Hylobotes ear Cynscophalus porcinus Spalacopus poeppissii Psittacus erythracus Tinnusculus nipicola Pyenonotus - Phyllopucustes (Aesultrop) borealis Foudia Madagas cariensis Falcuveculus fronlatus Meleagris gallopavo ? The rest we keep, for the following reasons - Lorex vulgaris - rejected as a duplicate.

              but is kept because it rep-
              resent a peculiar phase of
              coloration.
