 young in first plumage are unknown. 



The Anjuan Thrush has oul}- been obtained on the island of 

 Johanna, one of the Comoro group Ij'ing between Madagascar and 

 Zanzibar. It is not supposed to be migratory. 



The liritish Museum does not possess an example of this species ; 

 but skins are in the collections of Professor Newton, Capt. Shelley, 

 the Bremen Museum, and my own collection.

 at the base of the under mandible. Wings with the third and 

 fourth primaries nearly equal and longest, second primary inter- 

 mediate in length between the fourth and fifth, bastard pi'imary 

 0-9 inch. Legs, feet, and claws brown. Length of wing 4-95
