﻿RICHMOND] BIRDS DESCRIBED IN VROEG'S CATALOGUE 345 



No. 143. Fringilla undulata Pallas. 



Equals Loxia astrild Linnaeus, 1758, and is so quoted in 

 the synonymy of that species in the twelfth edition of the 

 " Systema Naturae." 



Estrilda astrild (Linx.kus). 

 No. 144. Fringilla macroura Pallas. 



Undoubtedly the same as Emberiza serena Linnaeus, 1766 

 (=E. principalis of the same author), but the locality 

 " Oostindie " is wrong. Pallas does not allude to the 

 black patches on the sides of the chest, nor to the white 

 on the rump and hind neck, but otherwise his diagnosis 

 is very good. Brisson, on whose " petite Veuve " 

 Linnaeus based the' name E. serena, describes the bird 

 as having only two elongated tail-feathers, and the crown 

 as rufous. 



Vidua macroura (Pallas). 

 No. 145. Pants cyanochlorus Pallas. 



Easily referable to Fringilla violacea Linnaeus, 1758. 



Euphonia violacea (Linnaeus). 

 No. 156. Motacilla hypoleuca Pallas. 



This is Musckapa atricapilla Linnaeus, 1766, which Mr. 

 Oberholser finds is the same as Motacilla ficedula 

 Linnaeus, 1758. 



Ficedula ficedula (Linnaeus). 

 No. 168. Motacilla striata Pallas. 



The description agrees very well with Musckapa grisola 

 Linnaeus, 1766, but the statement " cantu excellit " 

 is at variance with the accounts given by Dresser and 

 other recent authors. 



Musckapa striata (Pallas). 

 No. 169. Motacilla plumbea Pallas. 



Doubtless Motacilla modularis Linnaeus, 1758, but the 

 description fails to mention the conspicuous brown 

 white-striped patch on the ear-coverts. 



Accentor modularis (Linnaeus). 

 No. 175. Parus aureus Pallas. 



This is Tanagra chlorotica Linnjeus, 1766. 



Euphonia aurea ( Pallas j. 

 No. 177. Motacilla cantillans Pallas. 



Without doubt the Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata 



BODDAERT, I783). 



Melizophilus cantillans (Pallas).
