brown, and the wing-band from below as in the female. The 

 dimensions of these four specimens are as follows : — 



361. Merula boulboul. Grey-winged Blackbird. 

 Three examples, obtained at Simla in 1866, measured : — 



The female of this species is of an uniform brown colour, with 

 a yellow bill and yellow legs. The young male has the throat 

 mottled with brown ; and a few streaks of the same colour occur 

 on the head. The feathers of the abdomen and under tail-coverts 

 are edged with grey ; but the rest of the plumage is as in the 

 adult male, according to observations made by myself at Mahasoo 

 on the 25th of September, 1866. 



365. Planesticus atrigularis. Black-throated Thrush. 



According to information given me by Dr. Scott, this species 

 is tolerably abundant about Umballah in the cold weather, and 

 several were procured there by him, although it did not occur 

 while I was there. 



368. TuRDUS HODGSONi. Himalayan Mistletoe-Thrush. 



I shot a specimen at Fagoo, near Simla, August 3rd, 1866. 

 On the previous day I had noticed a Thrush on the road, and seen 

 it feeding on the ground in a clearing in the forest. It was as 

 large as, if not larger than, the English Mistletoe-Thrush, and 

 when disturbed flew in the same undulating manner and settled 

 again on the ground at a few hundred yards' distance from where 

 I first put it up. My gun was at the time unfortunately behind 

 with my servants ; but the next day I visited the same spot, and 

 secured a specimen, probably the individual seen the day before.
