is now clear and mamfest to my eye. Garrulax, Actinodura, Oriolia, 

 Turnagra, or rather Otmjon, distinct from the much more GamUme 

 Keropia, with those Kittce which are not Coraciina, are all memhers 

 of this my new group, to which (however enlarged) cannot be well 

 united a fifth, Ptilorhynchince, including the genera Chlamydera and 

 Ptilorhynchus, which in Stumidts were out of their place. But the 

 obiect of the present paper is merely the enumerationof jthe genem 

 and species of my Garruliue subfamily. '--i' ^^'f^ urUoir ,fi . 



The first that we meet, ending the GarmlaxmtB with Keropia, 

 which may as well be the first of Garralinse, is the genus Platylophus, 

 Sw., judiciously changed by G. R. Gray, 1 840, into Lophocitta, hitherto 

 composed of but one species from Java, to which I now add a second 

 from Sumatra, introducing to you the bird called Garrulus histnom^ 

 cus by Solomon Miiller, struck in the native woods where he dis- 

 covered it by its mimic gestures, whilst the skins he sent to the Ley- 

 den Museum suggested the name of Garrulus rufuhis, Temminck, 

 than which there can be no better for closet-naturalists. I introduce 

 it thus in the Systema Naturae. 



Lophocitta histrionica, Bp. Minor : fusco-ferruginea; collari 

 •'' nigro; maculd utrinque colli magnd, supraoculari parvd, albd. 



Synonyms. 



Garrulus histrionicus, Mull. 



Garrula rufula, Temm. Fig. nulla. 



Hab. Sumatra; Borneo. 



The old species will stand as follows : : 



Lophocitta galericulata, Gr. Major : nigra; collari nullo; 

 maculd utrinque colli magnd, supraoculari parvd, albd. 



Synonyms. 

 Corvus galericulatus, Cnv. 

 Lanius scapulatus, Licht. 

 Lanius coronatus ? Raffles. 

 Levaill. Hist. Nat. Farad, t. 42. 

 Hab. Java. 



The second genus of the family will be my Pensoreus or the Dys- 

 omithia of Swainson, a northern group composed also of two spe- 

 cies only, both well known, the European and Asiatic Pensoreus in- 

 faustus and the American Per. canadensis ; for brachyrhynchus, Sw., 

 IS the young of the latter ; and as to Garrulus ferrugineus, Bechstem, 

 we cannot think of admitting it as distinct, although sustained by 

 Wagler • plate 48 of Levaillant, on which alone it is based, being much 

 moi^ like Perisoreus infaustus than the very plate 47 constantly 

 quoted under that name. . ^u w u '■'*' 



Third comes the true Garrulus, pecuhar to the Old World, com- 

 posed of our common Jay with its five closely-aUied (or mere races), 

 and two other more distinct, though hardly less typical, species. One 

 of these, chief object of the present paper, is certainly by far the hand- 

 somest, if not at the same time the largest, resembling most, especiaUy 

 by the small, lanceolate, white-shafted feathers of its throat, ]iwth,^)3^
