The second genus of the family. will be my Perisoreus or the Dys- 
ornithia of Swainson, a northern group composed also of two spe- 
cies only, both well known, the European and Asiatic Perisoreus in- 
faustus and the American Per. canadensis ; for brachyrhynchus, Sw., 
is the young of the latter ; and as to Garrulus ferrugineus, Bechstein, 
we cannot think of admitting it as distinct, although sustained by 
Wagler ; plate 48 of Levaillant, on which alone it is based, being much 
more like Perisoreus infaustus than the very plate 47 constantly 
quoted under that name. 
Third comes the true Garrulus, peculiar to the Old World, com- 
posed of our common Jay with its five closely-allied (or mere races), 
and two other more distinct, though hardly less typical, species ; one 
of which, the chief object of the present paper, is certainly by far the 
handsomest, if not at the same time the largest, resembling most, 
especially by the small, lanceolate, white-shafted feathers of its 
throat, with barbs still more disjuncted, Garrulus lanceolatus of Cen- 
tral Asia, so well figured by Gould in his ‘Century of Himalayan 
Birds’; which may be appreciated also in its adult state under the 
name of Garrulus gularis, and in immature plumage under that of 
Garrulus Vigorsi among the ‘Illustrations of Indian Zoology.’ Our 
new species, notwithstanding its stouter and longer feet, its higher 
and much more compressed bill, and elongated square tail, can by no 
means be called aberrant.

Hab. The precise country of this Jay is not known; but Asiatic 
as it shows, and all circumstances induce us to believe, it must live 
in some very remote and unexplored occidental spot of China or Indo- 
China. The specimen described formed part of Baron van der Ca- 
pellen’s collection, purchased after the death of that Dutch governor 
of Malasia by Prof. van Lidth de Jeude of Utrecht. I detected it last 
week during a visit I paid to that most splendid perhaps of private 
collections with my learned friend Schlegel *. 
* We had a double object in view in visiting Utrecht and the munificent Pro- 
fessor, to whom it is more justice than compliment to dedicate his new Jay: 1.
