412 ' Mr. H. E. Strickland on some new 



domine cinereo-olivaceis, ventre imo crisso et alarum tectricibus 

 infernis Isete flavis. Rostrum pedesque corneo-brunnei. 



I am not aware that this bird has been yet described^ but as 

 it has received from Dr. Horsfield the MS. name of Finlaysoni, 



1 think it right to adopt that appellation. It is a typical Pycno- 

 notus ; the form of the beak agrees with that of P. capensis, and 

 the feathers of the rump are very long and downy. It is pro- 

 bably from some of the Malasian islands^ but I am unacquainted 

 with the precise habitat. 



Front, cheeks and chin yellow, brightest down the middle of 

 each feather; lores velvety black. Upper parts obscure olive, 

 grayish on the crown, and yellowish on the wings and tail ; three 

 or four pairs of lateral rectrices narrowly tipped vdth pale yellow- 

 ish. Below dirty olive ; lower belly, tail-covers and lower wing- 

 covers bright yellow. Beak and legs corneous. 



Total length 6| inches ; beak to gape 7^ lines, to front 6|^ 

 lines j wing 3 inches 1 line ; medial rectrices 3 J inches, external 



2 inches 10 lines ; tarsus 9 lines.

 P. capite subcristato, facie, mento, nigerrimis ; dorso alisque fuscis, 

 marginibus pennarum pallidioribus, caudse tectricibus superiori- 

 bus albis ; cauda fusco-nigricante, tenuiter albido terminata ; re- 

 gione parotica alba ; partibus infernis cinerascente-albidis, crisso 

 Isete aurantio-croceo. Rostrum pedesque nigri. 



This bird, which has been long known, requires a new specific 

 name, being quite distinct from the true Pycnonotus hcemorrhous 

 (Gmel.) of Ceylon, in which the vent is crimson. If we regard 

 the genus Pycnonotus of Kuhl to be tjrpified by Turdus capensis, 

 Linn., we must refer to it all the species oi Hamatornis, Swains., 

 and the present bird among the number. It closely agrees in 

 form with Pycnonotus capensis, Linn., but is at once distinguished 

 by the vent being orange instead of yellow, and by other cha- 

 racters. 



This bird inhabits Java. The head and chin are black ; back 

 and wings dusky, with paler margins ; rump white ; tail black- 

 brown, narrowly tipped with whitish; ears white; lower parts 

 dirty white ; under tail-covers bright saffron-colour ; beak and 

 legs black. 



Total length 7f inches; beak to gape 10 lines, to front 7| 

 lines ; wing 3f inches ; medial rectrices 3 inches 7 lines, external 



3 inches 5 lines ; tarsus 10 lines.
