vent, white ; reddish on the flank. This species will not range with 

 the true thrushes. 



Plate 498. Turdus melanotis, Temra. The subject of this plate is 

 from Mexico, and has been now figured from its resemblance to the 

 former in plumage ; about eight inches in length ; of a uniform 

 dark tint, and having a band of the same colour covering the auri- 

 culars. 



Plate 499. Ocypterus sanguinolentus, Temm. male. Length about 

 seven inches eight lines. The plumage is entirely black, with 

 the exception of a part of the feathers composing the bastard pinion, 

 and the centre of the belly, which are rich crimson. Very common 

 in Java, and found also in Sumatra and Borneo. We cannot recon- 

 cile this with the characters of Cuvier's Ocypterus, taking O. 

 leucorhynchus as the type. To this description is added a monograph 

 of six species ; all of which, with the exception of the present, are 

 figured in a monograph on the genus by M. Valenciennes in the 

 6th vol. of the Memoires du Museum. 



Plate 500, contains three beautiful finches, 1. Fringilla leuconota, 

 Temm. Upper parts and breast, entirely blackish brown, with the 

 exception of a white band crossing the centre of the back; belly and 

 vent, pure white ; from Bengal ; 4 in. long. 2. Fringilla nisoria, Temm. 

 Upper parts and breast, reddish brown ; belly and vent, white, with 

 numerous brown and black bars ; Java ; 3 in. 9 lines. 3. Fringilla 

 Majanoides, Temm. Head, cheeks, and back of the neck, pure 

 white ; fore part of the neck, breast, centre of the belly, and under 

 tail coverts, deep black ; the other parts of plumage, reddish brown ; 

 Java ; 3 in. 5 or 6 lines. 



Plate 301. Picus leucogaster, Temm. from Java. Under this plate 

 is also given the description of another Javanese and Sumatran 

 species, Picus dimidiatus, Temm. resembling considerably the green 

 woodpecker of Europe in size and colours. 



Plates 302 and 303. Two beautiful pigeons, the first, Columba denisea, 

 Temm. from Chili, and coming under that division which has the tarsi 

 partly feathered ; the second, Columba janthina, Temm. from Japan, 

 where it is said to be common. 



Plate 304. Larus melanorhynchus, Temm. from Chili, about the size 

 of Larus Sabini, the colours somewhat the same in shade and distri- 

 bution ; the tail, even ; the tarsi and feet, red. 



Plate 305. Vanellus cuculatus, Temm. From the islands of Timor 

 and Java. One of that long-legged form which runs into Plu- 

 vianus, and furnished with spurs to the shoulders, and wattled cheeks. 



Plate 306. Pitta granatina. This very beautiful species was dis- 

 covered by M. Diord on the west coast of Bomeo. The upper 

 parts are rich purple ; the crown, passing to the occiput, the belly 

 and vent, deep crimson ; the region of the eyes, bluish black, ter- 

 minating upon the auriculars in pale blue. A monograph of the 

 genus is also given, containing eleven species, divided into two sections. 

 L Those belonging to the Old "World, eight in number. From 

 these the author has with propriety omitted the two species figured 

 in former numbers of the work under the titles of P. thoracica and 

 P. glaucina. II. Those inhabiting the New World, containing, Isf, 

 Roi des fourmilers, Buff, plate 702, and forming the type of Vieil 

 Grallaria ; 2(/, Beflfroi de Cayenne, Buff, plate 706 ; and, M, A new 

 species from Brazil, under the title of Breve Mouchette, Pitta 

 macularia, Temm. We are not sure that any of this last section will 

 come under our ideas of the genuine Pittce, — they may, however, 

 stand as the representing form in the New World.
