(Ibid. ]>. 401.) There have been distinguished by Strickland, in the 'Ann. of 

 Nat. Hist.' xiii, p. 411, Criniger (?) icterinus, Pycuonotus Finlaysoni, P. cro- 

 corrhous (Ttirdus luemorrhous, Horsf., differing from the synonymous Bird of 

 Gmelinby the saffron-coloured rump), P. flavirictus, and Hypsipetes philippensis, 

 The same author has giveua figure of Hartlaub'sP/^c^//^at tab. 11, p. 410. 



Brandt has communicated his observations on three new species from the 

 genera Saxicola and Accentor to the ' Bullet, de la Classe phys. math, de 

 Petcrsb.' ii, p. 139 : (1) Saxicola albifrons, Brandt = Motacilla stapazina, 

 Pall., from Siberia. (2) Accentor montanellus, Ternm. = Motacilla montanella, 

 Pall. Brandt remarks that Temminck's and Naumann's description, as also 

 the figure given by the latter, would not pass exactly for those of an old 

 male specimen, which displays no reddish colour upon the back and wings, 

 with no spots on the breast. He therefore conjectures that the Bird described 

 by Temminck and Naumann may be a variety or distinct species, to be indi- 

 cated by the name of Accentor Teinminckii. (3) Accentor atrigularis, Brandt, 

 from Scmipalatinsk, .in Siberia. 



In Gould's ' Birds of Australia' have been figured, n. 16, Acanthiza cry- 

 sorrhcea, A. diemenensis, and Ewingii n. 17, besides n. 15, Xerophila Zeu- 

 copsis, Pyrrhol&mus Irunneus, n. 17, and Sericornis citreogiilaris, u. 14. The 

 genus Jam has been increased by Hartlaub with a nc\v species, /. Lafres- 

 nayei. (Rev. Zool. p. 401.) 



Levailkmt's le Patre has been separated by Strickland (Ann. of Nat. Hist, 

 xiii, p. 410) as a distinct species, called Pratincola pastor, from P. rubicola. 

 Calamanthm fuliginosus has been figured by Gould in the ' Birds of Aus- 

 tralia,' u. 16. Both the Birds characterized by Hartlaub, in 'Rev. Zool.' 

 under the names Hylophiltis leucoplin/s (p. 8.1), and Pants melaiiotis, Saudb. 

 (p. 216), come from Guatemala. 



Sundevall makes mention of a specimen of Motacilla alba with a black 

 back, having been shot at Gothenburg, and which is the same variety indi- 

 cated, as M. Yarrellii, by English Ornithologists. Psophodes has been pro- 

 vided with a second species, Ps. nigrigularis, by Gray. (Ann. of Nat. 

 Hist, xiv, p. 363, and Gould's Birds of Australia, n. 15.) 



CEIITHIACE.E. Lesson enumerates, in ' Rev. Zool.' p. 434, IS species of 

 Troglodytes. To these he appends a 19th, from Peru, and has given it the 

 name of T. murinus. The other species of this family that have been figured 

 by Gould, in his ' Birds of Australia,' are Sitella chrysoplera, leucoptera, and 

 pillata, u. 14; Cimacteiis melannra, ditto; Melicophila picata, n. 15; Acan- 

 thogenys rufogularis and A. inaitris (identical with A. carunciilata, Yig.), 

 n. 16 ; Plilotis cratitius, n. 16, and P. auricomis, n. 17; MyzantJia garrula, 

 lutea and obscnra, n. 15 ; Entomyza aliipennis, u. 17. Nectarinia flaviyaster 

 has been characterized by Gould in 'Ann. of Nat. Hist.' xiii, p. 474. Coni- 

 rostrmn superciliorum, from Guatemala, by Hartlaub, in ' Rev. Zool.' p. 215.
