on Dr. Jerdon's ' Birds of India." 21 



(Sib. Reise, tab. xvi. fig. 7), which I have seen at the Bi-itish 

 Museum. Mr. Wallace has two fine large species of Locustella 

 — L. fasciolata [Acrocephalus fasciatus, G. R. Gray, P. Z. S. 1860, 

 p. 349), from Batchian, and L. insularis, Wallace, from Mati 

 Island, north of Jilolo. 



522. Tribura luteoventris, Hodgson; qu. " Calamodyta 

 ojffinis" Gray and Mitchell, ill. Gen. Birds, pi. xlix. fig. 2? 



Mr. Gould has an Indian specimen, which I think belongs to 

 this species, which he refers to Sphenoeacus, Strickland (as exem- 

 plified by his S. galactodes, B. Austr. iii. pi. 35). Mr. Swinhoe 

 describes a T. squameiceps, from China, as "allied to T. lutei- 

 ve>itris, Hodgson, from Nepal " (P. Z. S. 1863, p. 292). Schoeni- 

 cola platyura, Jerdon (no. 442), should probably rank near it, 

 as also Salicaria (?) cinnamomea, Riippell (J. A. S. B. xxiv. p. 260). 



523. HoRORNis FULviVENTER, Hodgson [nee nobis, Ibis, 

 1865, p. 33), is identical with P hijlloscopus fuscatus, nobis 

 (Jerdon, no. 555) ! 



524. HoRORNIS FLAVIVENTRIS. 



A true Dumeticola, or Locustella {vide supra sub no. 519). 



525. HoRORNlS FULlGIiNlVENTER. 



A Phylloscopus akin to no. 523 {vide infra sub no. 555). Mr. 

 G. R. Gray has referred both of these species to Regulus (Cut, 

 B. Nepal, p. 64) ! 



526. HoRORNIS FORTIPES. 



Probably a Dumeticola, or Locustella {vide supra sub no. 519). 

 Among the unmounted skins in the British Museum I found 

 specimens sent by Mr. Hodgson as H. fulviveater, H.flaviventris, 

 and H. fuliginiventer, and examples of the first and third at the 

 India Museum, which I do not hesitate to assign as above ; 

 also, in both museums, numerous specimens labelled H. assimi- 

 lis, Hodgson, being the species which I had previously considered 

 to be H. fulviventer (as in Ibis, 1865, p. 33, where I noticed its 

 close affinity with the Javan Sylvia montana, Horsf.). The 

 same bird I formerly described as Drymceca brevicaudata (J. A. 

 S. B. xvi. p. 459), and subsequently regarded it as the adult of 

 Neornis flavolivacea (Cat. Mus. As. Soc. p. 144), wherem Dr. 

 Jerdon follows me {cfno. 552). I had only young examples of
