302 Mr. O. Salvin on Birds 



Mr. Sharpe expresses his inability to identify the Motacilla 

 furva of Gmelin with any known species of Wreu. I have 

 again looked into the question, and can only say that it 

 seems to me that this name is specially applicable to this 

 Guiana bird. The description is certainly brief, but not in- 

 accurate, and Brown^s figure suits the bird remarkably 

 well. The locality, too^ " Surinam/-* ^yqw iox T. furvus, 

 makes the matter more sure.
