Watling's note : " The natural size. This rare and curious 

 bird has a singular whistling note. It is often seen pursuing 

 smaller birds. The general likeness is good and is a strong- 

 copy." 



No. 147. Sooty Thrush, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 185. 



Turdus fuliginosus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xlii. 

 This name is not quoted by Mr. Seebohm, but there can be 

 no doubt but that it is the Norfolk Island Thrush ( = the Ash- 

 headed Thrush of Latham, Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 373), In this 

 volume of Watling's drawings there are pictures of mammals 

 r and birds from Norfolk Island, showing that he had been there. 

 / The name of Merula poliocephala (Gould) must give way to that 

 ' of M. fuliginosa (Lath.).

 know nothing of its habits, etc."
