Mr. G. R. Gray, this Himalayan bird appears to be perfectly identi- 

 cal with No. 763, the specimens of which were labelled by M. 

 Malherbe.* 

 765. Rode Rode, Malay. 



770. Hab. Also Arakan. 



771. Syn. Probably M. melanopa, Pallas; M. tschutschensis, Gmelin; 

 M.javensis{?), Brisson. 



772. Hab. N. Africa (rare). 



77^. Hab. Common in France as well as Britain (Malherbe). 



775 and 77^. These are identical, the birds acquiring blue-grey feathers 



on the head at the vernal moult, which change afterwards to black. 



The name B. viridis must be retained for the species. No. 775. 



Cancel the mark of doubt after /lava. 

 786. Hedda, Sindh. 



790. Ganghai, Muttra. Ceylon race : Demalichia, Cingh. 

 793. Kalla Parandal, Cingh. 

 7QQ. Burr a P'henga, B. 

 797. Chota P'henga, B. 

 Genera Drymoica, p. 142 ; Prinia, p. 143 ; Orthotomus p. 144 ; 



Phyllopneuste, p. 183. These and similar small birds are termed 



Uban tsooj), or Upan-byee-tsoop, in Arakan. 

 817. Syn. This seems to be O. longirostris, Swainson, 2\ Centen., 



p. 343, erroneously assigned by that author to Australia. 

 Genus Horeites (nee Horietes), p. 145. 

 Genus Cisticola, Kaup, nee Lesson, p. 145. 

 821. Kher ghiisa, Bhagulpur. 

 Genus Pellorneum (nee Pellornium), p 145, 

 824. Should have been placed before Turdinus, p. 147. 

 826. Syn. 1 P. nipalensis, Gray, figured in III. Gen. Birds {Fig. nan 



vidimus). Hab. Also Tippera. 

 839. For " Megalopteron,'" read Malacopteron.

874. Syn. L. ruficeps, Bechstein ; L. rufescens, Cuvier ; L. collurioides. 

 Lesson ; — the Malayan variety, or L. super ciliosus, L. N. B. The 

 Bengal variety is found also in Nepal and Arakan. The Philippine 

 variety, L. Incionensis, L., is generally less rufous than the Indian 

 (Strickland, Ann. Mag. N. H., XIX, 132). 



878. Hab. Also W. Asia (Erzeroum). 



880. Syn. Also L, pomeranus, Gmelin ; L. rujicollis, Shaw.

Genus Pitta, p. 156. Murtowa Plandok, Malay. 



907. Hab. Also Sumatra. 



* Perhaps, however, M. Malherbe may have wrongly named them, sending A. 

 Cecili for A. aguaiicus ; for Mr. Strickland writes — "Your A . aquattcus ?" (J. 

 A. S. XVI, 437), " is certainly not aquaticus (verus) of Europe, and will probably 

 stand as A, Cecili, Aadouin."
