Hodgson's name, Anilius rosaccns (or roseaceusf), for this bird, occur- 

 ring in MS. and unpublished drawings deposited in the British Museum, 

 can not be jiroperly used, and the same name, ^ given by Gray, is like- 

 wise to be rejected. I have been unable in this connection to consult 

 the original reference to Blyth's name,^ and am not i)ositive that a 

 description is there given, but in the absence of any information to the 

 contrary, think it well to adopt his name. In case Blyth's name be 

 fonnd to lack a clear title, that of Anthus roseaceus, Horsfield and Moore, 

 may be nsed.
