 young ones of the two Japanese species. 



The following table is com])iled from Captain Blakiston's manuscript 

 notes, and is especially valuable for the measurements of the total 

 length :

The young birds differ from the adults in having a dusky superciliary 

 stripe after the fashion of the foregoing species, to which the reader is 

 referred for further remarks on the characters of the young ones. 

 ^. caudatus, from Tesso, in first plumage, is on our list of desiderata.

From the above synonymy it will be seen that all the generic names 

 usually applied to the Penduliue Tit-mice are preoccupied, and as a 

 new one has become necessary, I have "latinized" the vernacular Polish 

 name by which the typical species Pants pen dvUnus Lin. is most exten- 

 sively known. Mr. G. K. Gray, in 1842 (App. List Gen. B., p. 8), quotes 

 " Paroides Koch (1810)," but this is a mistake, and Gray, in his Hand- 

 list, dropped it from the synonymy altogether.
