[v. Martens). 



Professor SundevaU {I. c.) was the first author who identified this purely Philippine species, 

 which previously was, and since has continued to be, confounded with the Malayan, C. musicus 

 (Raffles). 



In a Guimaras male {fde Meyer), otherwise in full plumage, the under shoulder-coverts are 

 tipped with white. In Zebu and Negros examples of the male they are entirely black ; in a 

 Zebu female {/ide Meyer) they are ashy ; no white on the rectrices of any,— thus agreeing with 

 Montbeillard's account of his type, which was brought to Paris by Sonnerat, presumedly from 

 Mindanao, although its origin is only to be inferred from the title.

t Mr. G. E. Gray (Hand-list, i. p. 266) adopts Cercotrichas, Boie. The genus Cei-coirkhas was established by Boie 

 (Isis, 1831, p. 542), without characters, in these words: — "Under this name I unite Turdus phcenicopterus, Temm., 

 T. erytliropUrus, T. macrotmts, Lath., T. tricolor, Vieill., Sa.v. leucampter. Museum Bcrl." Thus four distinct generic 

 forms are united under one generic title, namely : — 



1. Tardus phoenkoptems, Temm., = Ampelis phomicea, Lath., a Campephaga ; type of Cyrtes, Eeichenbach. 



2. Tio-rfuseri/t/jropto-MS, Lath., exGm. = ?'»rfZ(W pocZo5«, L. S. MuUer; a Saxicoline form near to TliammUa (conf. 

 Blanford, Observ. Geol. & Zool. Abyssinia, p. 360, no. 127). 



3. Turdus macrourus. Lath., ex Gm., = Turdus tricolor, YieUl., type of Eittaclncla. 



4. Saxicola Imcocampter, Lichtenst. Mus. 'Qtro\.=MolaciTla fulkata, Linn., type of TItamnohia. 



Dr. Cabanis (ilus. Hein. i. p. 41), following Eiippell (Syst. IJcbers. p. 60), adopted the second species named by Boie 

 as the tj-pe of Cercotrkhas. Messrs. Finsch and Hartlaub, finding it impossible to recognize the incongruous group which 

 Boie had brought together, appropriated (Yog. Ost-Afrik. p. 149) his generic title, re-establishing it as their own, and 

 restricted it to Turdus ernthropterus. Lath., and Orgija luctuosa, Lafr. Mr. G. E. Gray, however, has made the third 

 species the type of Cercotrkhas and superseded Kittacimla, Gould, an arrangement which cannot be upheld.
