332 Mr. R. Swiuhoe un Birds from Hakodadi. 



129. TURDUS NAUMAWI. 



" I have obtained this species for the first time this year. 

 It agrees exactly with my Shanghai specimen." No bird 

 sent. He had his Shanghai specimen to identify it with ; so 

 I think we can fairly enter it. 



130. Calamodyta insulariSj Wallace. 



A female of this Moluccan migi'ant received. Passes north 

 to breed. 



131. Arundinax blakistoxi, sp. nov. Plate VIII. fig. 1. 

 Upper parts brownish olive ; underparts dusky yellowish^ 



on sides of breast brownish olive ; a yellowish olive super- 

 cilium ; wing olive-brown^ margined paler ; tail brown, with 

 whitish tips ; axillaries pale yellowish, with blackish mot- 

 tlings ; dingier on yellow under tail-coverts. Upper man- 

 dible brownish, with yellowish edges ; under yellowish^ with 

 brownish tip ; legs and lores yellowish brown. Length 

 4-7, wing 2'7, tail 2'1, tarse -85, first quill '48, second 

 •15 shorter than third, narrow, 1*4 shorter than fourth, or 

 longest.

 figured the latter in 'The Ibis' (1876, p. 41) from Borneo, 

 showing that Salvadori's species is nothing more than the 

 Locustella ochotensis, Midd., = Z/. rubescens, Blyth. 



Blakiston adds, " I have two specimens similar to Cala- 

 modyta maacki ; but they differ from one another too much. 

 Unfortunately the specimen I sent you in 1873 was lost; and 

 I must therefore keep these till I get duplicates."" 



He further states, " I have also one specimen of what I 

 take to be Locustella subcerthiola ; but the typical specimen 

 that you identified was also lost in the ' Ariel.' " This may at 

 once be recognized from its resemblance to Savi's Warbler, 

 Lusciniopsis savii. 



132. Phylloscopus xanthodryas, Swinh. ? 



^' I have a specimen of Willow- Wren which is much larger
