1 Placed by Strickland (Ann. & Mag. N. H.xiv. p. 116)inthe"Tenuirostres" 

 (Melipliagida), but by Jerdon and Blyth with the Bulbuls (Pycnonotida). A re- 

 ference to the 'Isis' (without date or page) is usually given as the work in which 

 this reputed genus of Boie's was founded. I can find no earlier mention of it 

 than 1829 (I. s. c.), and it becomes a question whether Chloropsis, (Jardine and 

 Selby,) is not an older title.
