FURTHER ADDENDA TO APP. No. 3 (p. xviii. ante). 



17. African specimens are identical with Indian. (Strickland.) 



82. Add Buteo cristatus, Vieillot.* 

 106. Had. Also Mergui. 

 211. We now consider this to be the adult, and No. 212 to he the 



young, of Alcedo euryzona, Temminck. Ilab. Sikiin ; Asiim ; 



Malayan peninsula and archipelago, 

 226. The African species, referred to this by Dr. Riippell, is consi- 

 dered distinct by Mr. Strickland, who terms it Eu. afer, (Latham). 

 326. This also is marked as African by Dr. Rujjpell, but Mr. 



Strickland separates the African bird as M. Lamaucki, Cuvier.

 361. O. jacobinus : Cuculus jacobinus, Bodd. ; C. passeriuus, 



Vahl; &c. (Strickland).

 620. Has. Also Mergui. 



685, 686. Genus Mycerobas, Bonap., apud Gould. 

 687. Genus Hesperiphona, Bonap., apud Gould. 

 966. From observation of a caged specimen, we are now convinced 



that the affinities of this genus are with Troglodytes, p. 158. 

 1265. Pycnonotus barbatus : Turdiis barbatus, Desfontaines ; T. 



arsinoe, Lichtenstein ; Ixos obscurus, Tern. ; I. inornatus, Fraser ; 



Hcematomis Ivynbris, Lesson. (Strickland). 

 1490. Cancel as a synonyme Pterocles quadricinctus, which 



name refers to a nearly affined African species. Vide Strickland, 



loc. cit.y sujira. 

 1546. Generic name altered to Rhinoptilus, Strickland. 

 1 760. An African species, and believed to be also S. American. Vide 



Strickland, Ann. Mag. N. H., 2nd series, IX, 349. 



The MS. incorporation of the substance of these Appendices into the 

 body of the work, or at least references under the numbers of the 

 species to the pages that contain the several addenda, is a task which 

 I am obliged to leave to those who will possess copies of the catalogue, 

 and one needful to be undertaken by whoever might wish to consult 

 it with the requisite faciUty.

* The various synonyraes of Indian Perns require, however, some further scrutiny. 

 To judge from Dr. S. Muller's coloured figure, the Indian and ordinary Malayan 

 seem to be identical : but we have recently received a much injured skin of a true 

 Pern from Mergui, which is decidedly distinct. Closed wing 13 in. only ; tail but 

 8^in. Symphysis of the lower mandible conspicuously shorter than in P. cristata. 

 Corneous sheath of the upper mandible lost. Colour rich dark hair-brown above, 

 with a fine gloss of maronne. Crest simjjle, broad, 2^in. long, the feathers composing 

 it white-tipped, as are also those adjacent. Lower parts white, with dark central 

 streaks or tears on the breast and flanks : under tail-coverts broadly banded. Tail 

 with a broad medial black band, another subterminal, and a third more narrow near 

 the base ; the rest brownish, and waved as usual in this genus. Colours more 

 intense and finely contrasted than we have ever seen in P. cristata or P. apivoka. 

 If new, P. brachypxerus, nobis.
