"Natural size. The yellow is much brighter than the bird 

 supposed to be a female of no. 1, and a very rare bird, never seen 

 before in the cold or winter months." 



No. 141. Prasine Thrush, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 183. 

 Turdus prasinus, Lath., Ind. Oi'n., Suppl., p. xli. 

 Pachycephala guttural is (Lath.), Gadow, Cat. B., viii., 

 p. 192. 

 This figure is probably intended to represent a young male of 

 P. gutturalis. The dark spot under the eye, mentioned by 

 Latham, is the first indication of the approach to the adult 

 plumage of the male. 



Watling's note : " Natural size. December." 



No. 142. Appears to be the same bird in slightly difierent 



plumage and placed in another position. 

 "Watling's note : " The natural size of the bird this drawing 

 was taken from. December."

This figure represents the same bird to which Latham has 

 applied the names of " Restless Thrush," " Doubtful Thrush," and

 Artamus sordidus (Lath.); Sharpe, Cat. B., xiii., p. 19. 

 This figure represents the young of the Sordid Thrush, 

 Turdus sordidus, Lath. As the name appears on an earlier 

 page than T. sordidus, it must take precedence, and the species 

 must be called Artamus tcnehrosus (Lath.). 



Watling says that the figure is the natural size.
