3. T. musicus (Song Thrush). 



4. T. iliacus (Red-wing Thrush, Storm Bird).

The Ring-Ouzel has been met with in this part of the king- 

 dom at various seasons of the year ; but it appears to be most

 was found among some high grass, in a wood in the parish of 

 Stoke by Nayland, in which were six eggs. The old male bird
