184 Mr. Blyth on Dr. Jerdon's ' Birds of India.' 



61. SCELOSTRIX CANDIDA. 



The two Philippine birds to which I have referred (Ibis^ 1866, 

 p. 251) as being in the Derby Museum at Liverpool are, judg- 

 ing from the information sent me by Mr. T. J. Moore, probably 

 distinct, andr eferable to " Strix amauronota, Cabanis'^ (J. f. O. 

 1866, p. 9), a species which, however, does not yet appear to be 

 described. 



72. Ketupa ceylonensis. 



Not only is K.flavipes " fully a third larger^' than K.java- 

 nensis, as stated in a note (Ibis, 1866, p. 255), but the upper 

 portion of its tarsus is clad with short downy feathers, which is 

 not the case with K.javanensis or K. ceylonensis. 



273. Pericrocotus brevirostrts. Capt. Beavan notes this 

 species from " Maunbhoom^^ (Ibis, 1865, p. 419). In the note 

 on this genus (Ibis, 1866, p. 369) the semicolon after " P. 

 ardens, Boie,^^ should be replaced by a comma, as P. igneus and 

 P. minutus are identical with it. 



291. Leucocerca fuscoventris (Ibis, 1866, p. 370). For 

 Lesson read Franklin. 



Genus Myiophonus (vol. i. p. 501). 



A synonym for the Chinese M. cceruleus is M. hrevirostris, 

 Lafresnaye (Rev. Zool. 1852, p. 460). 



722. EuspizA luteola has a pleasing continuous warble, 

 very unlike the monotonous song-notes of most Buntings. On 

 hearing it in the Zoological Gardens I supposed that I was 

 listening to some species of Lark, until I caught sight of the 

 vocalist. 



748. Callacanthts burtoni. 



Some hybrids which I have lately seen, bred from the male 

 Carduelis eleyans and female Pyrrhula europcea, bear a curious 

 resemblance to this Himalayan species. 



760. Pyrrhulauda grisea. Mr. Gould has a second Indian 

 species of this genus, received from the Madras Presidency, very 

 like the Nubian P. cruciata (Temm.), and which may therefore 

 be designated
