436 Messrs. Salvin and Sclater's Index to the 



4. Ueber die rothdugige Drossel {Turdus olivacinus, Bp.). 

 J. f. 0. 1871, p. 206. 



Describes minutely Turdus olivacinus of the Abyssian high- 

 lands, and distinguishes it from its southern representative 

 T. olivaceus. The Turdus olivacinus of Rtippell and Hartmann, 

 from the coast-region of Abyssinia and the Blue Nile, is not 

 this species, but Turdus pelios, auct. (nee Bp.), which species 

 ought to stand as T. icterorhynchus {of. Cab. J. f. O. 1870, 

 pp. 238-306), the true T. pelios being a Central- Asiatic species.
