464 Messrs. Salvin and Sclater's Index to the 



tenuiceps. Phyllopneuste eversmanni of Midd. = P. sijlvicul- 

 trix, Swinh., = P. borealis, Bias.? Three species have been con- 

 founded under the name Phylloscopus fuscatus, viz. Phyllopneuste 

 sibirica, Midd., P. brunneus, Blyth {=P. maacki, Schr.*?), and 

 P. fuscatus, Blyth. 



2. Notes on some Passerine Birds, chiefly Palaarctic. Ibis, 

 1871, pp. 231-234. 



The Palsearctic forms obtained by Dall and Bannister in 

 Alaska furnish the subject of some of Mr. Tristram's notes, the 

 specimens having been sent to him for comparison. Phijllopneuste 

 kennicotti=P. borealis. Bias., — P.sylvicultrix, Swinh., P. evers- 

 manni, Midd. nee Bp., and P. flavescens, G. R. Gray, being 

 synonyms. Pynhula coccinea, var. cassini, is a good species. 

 Mr. Tristram accompanies his remarks with a brief synopsis of 

 the nine species of Pyrrhula. 



Reguloides occipitalis, J erd., = Phyllopneuste coronata, Temm. 

 Anthus cervinus is recognized as an eastern form of Red-throated 

 Pipit distinct from the western, to which the name A. rufogularis 

 is applied. 



3. Notes on Sylviads. Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, viii. pp. 28, 

 29 (1871). 



The difference between Phyllopneuste brevirostris and P. rufa 

 is asserted. P. major is described from the southern Mediter- 

 ranean coasts. It is Sylvia icterina of Temminck, but not of 

 Vieillot.
