146 PASSERES. 



a Nepal (B. H. Hodgson 283) 1845. b S. India (" Musci- 

 peta paradisi" T. G. Jerdori) 1850. 



The locality "S. India" assigned to b is open to doubt. The 

 specimen agrees accurately with Jerdon's description of this species. 



700. Terpsiphone melanogaster. 



Muscipeta melanogaster, Sw. B. W. Afr. ii. p. 55. 



a W. Africa (Askew] 1837. b W. Africa (Sir W. Jardine) 



1842. c. 



These specimens agree with examples in the Swainson collection, 

 probably the types of the species. 



701. Terpsiphone rufiventer. 



Muscipeta rufiventer, Sw. B. W. Afr. ii. p. 53, pi. 4. 



a (N. C. Strickland) 1838. b W. Africa (W. KirtlanJ) 



1843. c W. Africa (Gardner) 1846. 



702. Terpsiphone cristata. 



Muscicapa viridis (!) Mull. Natursyst. Suppl. p. 171. 



Muscicapa cristata, Gm. Syst. Nat. i. p. 398. 



Tchitrea cristata, Layard, B. S. Afr. p. 145. 



Muscipeta perspicillata, Sw. B. W. Afr. ii. p. 60. 



a Cape of Good Hope (N. C. Strickland) 1838. b S. Africa 

 (N. C. Strickland) 1838. c S. Africa (Dewgard) 1849. d 

 (Argent) 1852. 



Jules Verreaux, apparently recognizing specimen a as having 

 been skinned by himself, wrote across the label in 1870 "tu6 par 

 J. Verreaux au Knysa, 1827." Miiller's name for this species is 

 utterly inadmissible. 



703. Terpsiphone incii. 



Tchitrea incei, " Gould," Horsf. & Moore, Cat. B. E. I. Co. 

 Mus. p. 392. 



a Malacca (Johnson) 1837. b Malacca (Matthew) 1840. 

 c Malacca (Williams) 1847. d (Williams), 



c seems certainly to belong to this species, but I am not so sure 

 as regards a, b, & d. The latter are all female or immature birds, 

 and my materials are insufficient to determine them satisfactorily.
