  bered

  Bailly, 
  in 
  his 
  ' 
  Ornithologie 
  de 
  la 
  Savoie 
  ' 
  (Paris, 
  

   1853-55), 
  has 
  given 
  to 
  a 
  few 
  well-known 
  species 
  new 
  names, 
  

   which 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  referred 
  to 
  in 
  the 
  ' 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  Birds 
  

   in

  Museum/ 
  As 
  it 
  may 
  happen 
  that 
  some 
  orni- 
  

   thologists, 
  not 
  finding 
  these 
  terms 
  in 
  this 
  standard 
  work, 
  may 
  

   think 
  themselves 
  at 
  liberty 
  to 
  use 
  them 
  for 
  other 
  species, 
  I 
  

   think 
  it 
  advisable 
  to 
  point 
  them 
  out 
  to 
  the 
  readers 
  of

  Tristram's 
  Grakle 
  in 
  Captivity. 
  — 
  Lord 
  Lilford 
  early 
  in 
  

   January 
  last 
  added 
  to 
  his 
  living 
  collection 
  an 
  example 
  of 
  

   Tristram's 
  Grakle 
  [Amydrus 
  tristrami), 
  figured 
  in 
  Gould's 
  

   'Birds 
  of 
  Asia,' 
  vol. 
  v. 
  pi. 
  45, 
  the 
  Palestine 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  

   interesting 
  group, 
  which 
  was 
  discovered 
  by 
  Canon 
  Tristram 
  

   in 
  the 
  Gorge 
  of 
  the 
  Kedron 
  in 
  1858, 
  but 
  which 
  had 
  not 
  pre- 
  

   viously 
  been 
  seen 
  in 
  captivity. 
  This 
  bird 
  is 
  still 
  alive 
  and 
  well, 
  

   and 
  in 
  general 
  habits, 
  Lord 
  Lilford 
  tells 
  us, 
  resembles 
  the 
  

   Mynahs 
  yery 
  closely, 
  except 
  that 
  it 
  will 
  not 
  bathe. 
  It 
  

   exceedingly 
  enjoys 
  being 
  '*^ 
  sprayed" 
  with 
  water. 
  Lord 
  

   Lilford 
  hopes 
  to 
  receive 
  more 
  of 
  these 
  birds 
  from 
  his 
  

   correspondent 
  in 
  Palestine 
  during 
  the 
  summer. 
  

  

  This 
  bird 
  is 
  evidently 
  a 
  female 
  ; 
  her 
  note 
  is 
  a 
  frequently- 
  

   repeated, 
  monotonous, 
  and 
  somewhat 
  harsh 
  cry, 
  with 
  a 
  certain 
  

   indication 
  of 
  powerful 
  vocal 
  organs.
