The T. episcopus of Linnseus depends upon Bnsson's ' Episcopus 

 avis,' and from Brisson's description and locality I think there can 

 be little doubt that the present species with white shoulders and 

 uarrow edgings to the greater coverts was intended. 



The only bird hkely to be confounded with it is the next following 

 species T. coelestis, whieh has a regular white bar across the wings 

 formed by the pure white terminations of the greater coverts.
