118 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie Grant on the 



appears to differ from the typical Australian examples in 

 several particulars, anrl, if it is not identical with Southern 

 Indian birds (I think it is), may have to stand as C. semi- 

 rvfa, Cabanis (J. f. O. 1866, p. 10, & 1872, p. 316), the type 

 of which comes from Luzon.

The Striped Silver-eyed Babbler was again met with in the 

 mountains in the vicinity of Cape Eiigano, and does not differ 

 in any particular from the types.

Adult male and female. Forehead and crown shining golden 

 yellow, shading into yellowish grey on the back and sides of 

 the head and neck, and greenish grey on the back and rest 

 of the upper parts, all the feathers with narrow whitish shaft- 

 stripes ; wings dark brown, the quills margined with yel- 

 lowish brown. Chin and throat golden yellow, but paler 

 than the crown, and shading into whitish yellow on the breast
