312 Herr A. v. Pelzeln on Birds from 



MoTACiLLA BOARULA, Pcnn.^; Calobtttes sulphureu, Bechst., 

 Jerdon, Birds of India. Kotegurh, Kokser (June). 



BuDYTES RAYi, Bonap. Sirinagur (September), Suroo. 

 The young bird from Suroo, which probably belongs to this 

 species, has a broken transverse dark band on the breast. 



Henicurus (errore Enicurus) macula tus, Vig. Kotegurh 

 (winter), Pangi, Chamba. 



Henicurus scouleri, Vig. Kotegurh (winter), Chergaon. 



PiPASTEs AGiLis (Sykcs). Kotcgurh (winter). 



Only differs from P. arboreus by having a stouter bill. I do 

 not think that it can be considered specifically distinct, not- 

 withstanding that Jerdon (Birds of India, ii. pp. 228, 229) gives 

 both species as inhabitants of Indiaf. 



CoRYDALLA RUFULA (Vieill.). Kangra. 



Agrodroma sordida (Riippell). Islamabad, Kotegurh, Nirth. 



Anthus aquaticus, Bechst. Kotegurh (winter). 



Jerdon's expectation [torn. cit. p. 239) that this species would 

 be found in the Himalayas has been realized by the examples 

 collected by Dr. Stoliczka. 



Heterura sylvanAj Hodgs. Kotegurh (winter), Nachar. 



Myiophonus temmincki, Vig. Pangi, Kotegurh (winter), 

 Serahan. 



One of the two individuals from Pangi, evidently a young bird, 

 is much smaller than the others (length of wing 6^"). It is of 



* [It is customary to ascribe this name, with a few more, to Pennant. 

 We have not been able to find that he ever bestowed a scientific name on 

 any species. In the present case he certainly should not be cited as the 

 authority ; for this species either is, or is not, the M. boarula of Linnaeus 

 (Mantiss. 1771, p. 527). If it is, the name was first conferred by him j 

 if it is not, the name belongs to another species, and cannot be used for 

 this.— Ed.] 



•f [May not this specimen be one of the true P. arboreus ? Does the 

 Vienna Museum possess authentic specimens of the P. agilis of Indian 

 authors ? Col. Sykes's type is in the East- India Museum and is kept as 

 a species distinct from P. arboreus by Horsfield and Moore (Cat. B. Mus. 

 H.E.I.C. i. p. 354). Dr. Jerdon (ut supra p. 230), states that the bill in P. 

 arboreus is stronger than in P. af/ilk. — Tr,]
