 expected, therefore, that any novelties would be found during such a cursory passage 

 along the coast.

The occurrence of this Thrush in Juan Fernandez is new to us. The skins from that 

 island do not differ from continental specimens. Specimens Nos. 647, 648, from Gray 

 Harbour, Messier's Channel, and No. 685 from Port Churrucha (obtained in the month of 

 January), are in nestling-plumage. The lower surface is thickly spotted with black ; and 

 the back-feathers carry light fulvous shaft-stripes, and are tipped with black. 



Eggs of this Thrush were obtained in the Falklands. They have already been 

 described by Mr Gould (Proc. Zool. Soc, 1859, p. 94).
