*l(ji. CuiTUca albistriata Brehm = Sylvia cantillans albistriata. 



Curruca albistriata Brehm, Vogdjang, p. 229 (1855 — Egypt). 

 Type : o' ad., Egypt. 



165. Curruca obsoleta Brehm = Sylvia undaia inula ta. 



Curruca obsoleta Brehm, Vogel/ang, p. 229 (1855 — " Oberitalien "). 



Probable type : " $ ad., Italien, September 1829." 



The words " oben tiefgrau " in the description do not well suit this speci- 

 men, wliich is really brown on the upperside, but I believe that " tiefgrau" is 

 a shp, misprint, or fault. 



106. Mimus bruchii Brehm = Agrohutes galuclotes syriacus. 



Jlimiis Bnichii Brehm, Isis, 1845. p. 337 * (Greece, specially Athens). 

 Type : o ad., Attica, 4. vi. 1842.

170. Petrocossyphus polyglottus Brehm = Monticoki saxatilis. 



Petrucossyphus pohjqlvttus Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Yog. DnUschl. p. 370 (1831 — " ISie lebt an der 

 Siidseitc der Aljien, wahrsclieinlich bei Triest, triigt andere Gesange vortreffiich vor "). 



Type : S ad., died in cage in Vienna, 11. xi. 1824. (Probably in the posses- 

 sion of Count Gourcy-Droitaumont.) 



There is, in my opinion, no doubt that this specimen is the type of the name 

 P. polyglottus. The label had come off and was referred to the specimen by 

 Kleinschmidt. The indefinite and merely supposed locality, together witli the 

 description of the song, indicate that the supposed species was described from 

 a cage-bird. The description agrees well with the example. 



* This is the earliest appearance of the name briiclui. In Vog. pat. Fauna, p. 605, I quoted 

 Aedon Bruchii. 1850, as the oldest one, 



t This ia the first publication of the name juniperorum. Also the name suhpilaris was pub- 

 Hshed in 1828 (Isis. p. U6, from specimens nesting near .Ahlsdorf), not 1831 as hitherto quoted.
