“ Synopsis Avium,” under the names of Sanguillo and Tooracca, and are 
inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Madras. The distinguishing pecu- 
liarities of Mcehring’s Erythacus are noted by Ray in the following words : 
“ Hujus avis nota characteristica est Vertex acuminatus, et Cauda 3 pennis 
latis, in acumen desinentibus, constructa; media penna ultra extimas pro- 
tenditur, et Tragule formam caude tribuit.” Of the six species of the latter 
division, he remarks, ‘‘ Huic Avium generi nota characteristica Sete que- 
dam tenues in cervice.” To these singular birds I would call the attention 
of ornithologists resident at Madras. As I cannot reconcile the characters 
and figures given by Petiver in Ray’s Synopsis with any birds with which 1 
am acquainted from that locality, I must retain the generic names as at 
present employed.
