33. Brown Wren. Phylloscopus fuscatus, Hodgson. 



This is identical with skins in the British Museum from 

 Siberia, marked Sylvia sibirica, Pallas. 



34. Crowned Wren. Phylloscopus coronatus (Sehlegel). 

 All doubt about this species is at an eud, as Mr. Fleming has 



brought specimens of it from Peking. 



39. Pale Redwing. 



Should be Turdus pallens, Pallas [T. ohscurus, Gmelin). T. 

 pallidas of Gmelin is the T. daulias of the ' Fauna Japonica.' 



40. Red-tailed Fieldfare. 



This is, I find, the winter plumage of Turdus ruficollis, Pallas. 



To these Thrushes we may add, from Peking, 

 Turdus sibiricus, Pall., 

 T. fuscatus, Pall., and 

 Petrocincla manilensis, Gmelin. 



41. Monticola ? 



This Thrush has turned out, as I surmised, a new species. 

 In my note, p. 332, I observe "abundant'^ has been mis- 

 printed for " aberrant." Our species is rather a tree-bird than 

 a rock-bird, like the Himalayan species cinclorhynchus, to which 

 it is closely affine, and which has rightly enough been made the 

 type of another genus, Orcecetes. The bird I procured was not 

 quite mature ; but Mr. Fleming's specimen (a fine adult male) 

 afforded me an opportunity of describing it at the meeting of 

 the Zoological Society. Our species is smaller in size, and has 

 a shorter and more robust bill, than 0. cinclorhynchus, which is at 

 once distinguishable from ours by its throat and neck being 

 blue-grey like the crown, by the blue edging of its wings and 

 tail, and by its having the white that adorns the wing extending 

 over the six inner tertiary quills instead of only over the second 

 and third consecutive feathers. 



Or(ecetes gularis, n. sp. (Plate III.) 



Crown of the head, extending down the back of the neck, and 

 carpal region of the wings clear French or lazuline grey. Loral 

 space, sides of the neck, under parts, rump, and upper tail-coverts 

 deep reddish bufi". Auriculars, onwards to the back, back, sea-
