yar, Horsf. We have three species in Bengal, PL pkitippinus, PL 

 bengalensis and PL manyar ; but I cannot affirm with certainty which 

 are the two mentioned in Mr. Gray's Catalogue. Judging from Mr. 

 Hodgson's names, it is not improbable that atrigula refers to the male 

 in breeding dress, and flavigula to the female or male in non-breeding 

 dress, of PL manyar. 



P. 106. For the species of Amadina (v. Munia), vide J. A. S. B. 

 xv. 36, 285. 



P. 108. Emberiza sordida, Hodgson, judging from a female sent 

 to the Asiatic Society, I consider to be E. pusilla> Pallas, identical 

 with Emb. sinops, Hodgson. 



P. 109. Alauda dulcivox, Hodgson. From several specimens sent 

 by Mr. Hodgson to the Asiatic Society, this seems perfectly identical 

 with A. arvensis, Linn. — The Plocealauda typica, Hodgson, is Mira- 

 fra assamica, M'Clelland and Horsfield, according to specimens which 

 Mr. Hodgson so labelled ; certainly a distinct species from M. Java- 

 nica, Horsfield. 



P. 112. Buceros albirostris, Shaw, is distinct from B. pica, Sco- 

 poli. Vide Mr. Gray's Appendix. 



P. 113. The Asiatic Society possess a Palceornis from the Mau- 

 ritius which I consider to be P. bitorquatus (verus). It is very di- 

 stinct from P. torquatus. 



P. 114. The Nepal Barbet referred to Bucco caniceps, Franklin, is 



B. lineatus, Vieillot, distinct from B. zeylanicus v. caniceps. 



P. 115. Picus maj oroides is P. darjellensis, nobis. — For " P. cath- 

 phorius " read cathpharius. 



P. 116. Dendrocopus moluccensis, apud Hodgson. This is P. pyg- 

 mceus, Vigors ; distinct from several nearly allied species : vide J. A. 

 S. B. xiv. 197, xv. 14, 52. — Gecinus xanthoderus. This I consider 

 to be Picus chloropus, Vieillot. — P. affinis, Raffles, v. dimidiatus, 

 Temm., and viridanus, nobis, is distinct from Gecinus occipitalis. 



P. 117. Meiglyptes brachyurus, Hodgson, is Micropternus phaoceps, 

 nobis, one of three nearly allied species. 



P. 118. The Himalayan Sirkeer is Taccocua infuscata, nobis, di- 

 stinct from three other Indian species that have been confounded 

 under T. sirkee : vide J. A. S. B. xiv. 200, xv. 19, xvi. 118. — Cen- 

 tropus lepidus, Horsf., will stand as C. Lathami (Shaw). — The South 

 African species which I refer to Oxy tophus ater, Gm., and which is 

 figured by Shaw, is very distinct from the Indian O. serratus. 



P. 119. Cucutus polio cephalus, Lath., v. himalayanus, Vigors, is not 



C. saturatus, Hodgson. 



P. 120. C. striatus, Drapiez, v. micropterus, Gould, must also not be 

 confounded with C. himalayanus, Vigors. — For " C. nivicolor," read 

 nisicolor. — Chrysococcyx xanthorhynchos I have only seen from the 

 Tenasserim provinces and Malayan peninsula and Archipelago. Is 

 not Mr. Gray's species referred to this the Chr. smaragdinus, nobis, 

 J. A.S.B. xv. 53? 



P. 121. Treron Sti. Thomce can scarcely be Tr. militaris of North- 

 ern India. — Tr. cantillans, nobis, I may remark, seems (as I am 

 informed by Capt. Hutton) to be but a caged example of Tr. sphenura,
