to the little tailor-bird (Orthotomus longicauda), but is popularly 

 applied to various other small birds, as especially the different 

 species of Phylloscopus, which are probably mistaken for the 

 tailor-bird. 



Pericrocotus peregrinus (L.), No. 16. The name Pdwi apper- 

 tains to Sturnia malabarica. M. SundevalPs Phoenicornis ftammea, 

 No. 17 (p. 251), is Per. speciosus (Lath.), distinct from P. flam- 

 meus of South India and Ceylon, which again differs from P. ig- 

 neus, nobis, of the Malay countries. 



Acanthiza trochiloides, Sund., has been since named by me 

 Phylloscopus reguloides ; and his A. arrogans is rightly assigned 

 by himself to Culicipeta Burkii (Burton), the Cryptolopha auri- 

 capilla, Sw., &c. &c. 



Orthotomus longicauda (No. 20) extends its range to Malacca, 

 where however it is rather of a deeper colour, and it occurs there 

 together with two other well-marked species, 0. edela, Temm. 

 (v. Motacilla septum, Raffles), and 0. cineraceus, nobis ; both di- 

 stinct from O. sepium, Horsf., of Java. 



lora typhia (distinct from /. zeylonica and I. scapularis) is 

 known here by the names Tas-feek and Phooteek-jol ; both imi- 

 tative of certain of its notes, which much resemble those of the 

 Pari. The affinity of this genus is with Phyllornis. 



Malacocercus griseus (Gm.), No. 22, is peculiar to South India, 

 being represented in Bengal by the Merula bengalensis, Brisson, 

 which specific name should now stand, in preference to M. ter- 

 ricolor, Hodgson. Besides its common name Chatarrhaa, it is 

 often called Sdt-bhyed (or ' seven brothers/ from its always asso- 

 ciating in small troops). 



Motacilla boarula is common here ; also in the Malay countries, 

 and it occurs even in Australia. M. SundevalFs M. flava agrees 

 best with Budytes cinereocapilla of South Europe ; and his M. 

 alba is M . luzoniensis, Scopoli. 



The Bengalee name Tjorta (meant for Chawta), which he as- 

 signs to Anthus arboreuSj belongs properly to the common spar- 

 row, but is often vaguely applied to any small brownish bird of 

 about the size of a sparrow. His supposed Anthus pallescens is 

 A. malayensis, Eyton. The described lark (No. 28) is Alauda 

 gulgula, Franklin : and the common name here of Pyrrhalauda 

 grisea (Scop.), No. 29, is Dhoolo-chorai (or 'Sand Sparrow'). 

 Fringilla bengalensis apud Sundevall refers to Ploceus philippen- 

 sis (L.), the well-known Baya ; P. bengalensis and P. manyar 

 occurring likewise. 



Acridotheres tristis (L.), No. 32. The Bengalee name Sdlik is 

 generic, though often applied to this species without an adjunct : 

 it is more distinctively termed Ghdr Sdlik (' House Mynah '), and 

 sometimes Bhdtta Sdlik. A. grisea (Horsf.), the Gracu/a crista-
