21. Cinclus aquaticus, Bechst. Rivulets near Smyrna. I cite 

 this bird mth some doubt, not having been able to obtain a specimen. 

 It is possible that the Smyrna Cinclus may be the C. Pallasii, Temm., 

 though I am incUned to refer it to the former species.

 green shrubs. 



*33. Sylvia rufa, Temm. Shot near Smyrna in November. 



*34. Sylvia brevirostris, mihi. Also killed in November near 

 Smyrna. This species, which I believe to be new, may be thus cha- 

 racterized : 



Sylvia brevirostris. Sylv. corpore suprai olivaceo brunneo, suh- 

 tiis albido ; pedibus nigris. 



Plumage closely resembling that of S. Trochilus. Above brown 

 with a tinge of olive. A pale yellow streak over the ej'^e. Throat and 

 breast pale fulvous Mdth a slight tinge of yello\v ; belly 'vvhitish. 

 Inner wing-coverts of a pale yellow. Remiges: the 4th and 5th long- 

 est and equal: the 2nd equal to the 8th. Beak dusky; legs black. 

 Long. tot. poli. 4į ; rostri, į; caudee, 2^; alce, 2f; tarsi, |. 

 Differs from S. i-ufa in its greater size, and from S. Trochilus in 

 the shortness of the beak, and the dark colour of the legs. 

 Habitat prope Smyrnam. Hyeme occisa.
