 1870, pp. 493-497. 



These notes refer chiefly to the identification of several species 

 of Indian Sylviidce. It is also remarked that Mr. Hume's genus 

 Jerdonia cannot stand, the name being preoccupied in Mollusca. 

 The distinctness of Sylvia bowmanni from S. melanocephala, 

 doubted by v. Heuglin, is insisted upon. Saxicola finschi, 

 Heugl., is said tobe^. libanotica. Other notes on African birds 

 follow. Dr. Tristram also describes the Algerian Dipper as 

 Cinclus minor. Pratincola robusta is described as a new species; 

 and Dr-ymceca anchietee, Bocage, Chcetops grayi, Sharpe, and 

 Sphenoeacus pycnopygius, Sclater, are united under the latter 

 (oldest) name.
