from that island in the Bremen Museum, it seems that both 

 species would occur there*. 



To which species the birds in the possession of Sir Joseph 

 Banks, said to have come from York Island, of which Latham 

 makes mention, belong, cannot be decided. 



TUBDIDtE. 



24. Turdus plavipes, Vieill. (199, 200.) 



A male (199, Thrush, Christians' Isle) is yet in the collec- 

 tion, but not the female (200) . 



25. Mimus orpheus (Linne). (202.) 

 Turdus orpheus, Sale Cat. 3603, Jamaica. 



Apparently a young bird, with pale bill, not fully adult re- 

 miges, underside washed strongly with isabel. 



Shaw's plate (Mus. Lever, p. 116) seems to represent 

 another specimen. 



26. Mimus carohnensis (Linne). (134.) 

 Cat Flycatcher, Lath. Synops. iii. 353. 54. 



Our specimen is a typical one, with red vent. Latham says 

 that a bird of this species, which came from Kamtschatka (!), 

 and was then in the Leverian Museum, differed in not having 

 the vent red. 



27. Copsychus saularis (Linne). (86.) 

 Male (Gr acuta saularis, from Bengal). 



Latham, in describing this species (Gen. Synops. ii. 465, et 

 Suppl. 91), made no mention of its presence in the Leverian 

 Museum. 



28. Cittacincla macroura (Gmel.). (138.) 

 Long-tailed Thrush, Lath. Gen. Synops. iii. 72, t. 39 (from 



Pulo Condore). 



Turdus macrourus, Gmel. Syst. i. 820 ; Lath. Ind. Orn. i. 

 354, 100. 



The bird from the Leverian Museum, probably the type of 

 Latham's description and figure, is no longer in our collection. 



* In the nearly related genus Calamoherpc two very closely allied species, 

 viz. C. arundinacea and C. palustris, also inhabit the same countries.
