316 MR. SWINHOE ON BIRDS FROM TIENTSIN. [Novy. 25, 
Temm., of Japan, were it not that the black streaks on the throat 
are wanting. Mr. Gurney is inclined to consider it an undescribed 
species. 
6. Orus vuuearis, Fleming. 
The European species. 
7. Scops BAKKAMENA, Pennant. 
Probably synonymous with S. japonicus. 
8. Ninox JAPoNnIcuS.—Strix hirsutus japonicus, Faun. Japon. 
This Mr. Gurney considers the Japanese rather than the Indian 
bird. 
9. ARUNDINAX OLIVACEUS, Blyth. 
This agrees perfectly with an Indian specimen in the British Mu- 
seum, as also with a figure in Von Schrenck’s work on the Zoology 
of Amoorland, named Salicaria (Calamoherpe) aédon, Pall. On 
referring to Pallas’s ‘ Zoographia,’ I find the bird there described as 
Turdus aédon,—Muscicapa aédon being quoted as a synonym from 
an older work, viz. Pallas’s ‘Travels.’ The specific name aédon ought 
therefore to have the precedence ; but as the larger Nightingale is 
designated by that term, I should say it would be as well to retain 
Blyth’s name. 
10. SALICARIA CANTILLANS, Temm. Faun. Japan. 
Apparently this bird, hitherto only known from Japon. 
11. CyaAnrecua suecica, L.—C. cerulecula, Pall. 
The red-spotted variety, in every way similar to the European 
bird. 
12. CALLIOPE CAMTSCHATKENSIS, Gmel. 
13, IJANTHIA CYANURA, Pallas. 
Agrees with Japanese specimens, which differ from J. rujilata, 
Hodgs., in having a white eyebrow-mark, where the latter has only 
a bright blue one, and in being more dingy in the upper parts. The 
Siberian specimens in the British Museum again differ from both in 
having a rufescent eye-streak, and in having the throat and breast 
buff-colour instead of white. 
14. Larvivora GRAciLis, mihi, Ibis, 1861, p. 262. 
This pretty species I have procured in the South of China, whence 
I described and named it in the ‘Ibis.’ It much resembles L. cyanea 
of Blyth in form, and a good deal as to colouring. Its bill, however, 
is longer, and its wings shorter. Instead of having the under parts 
pure white, as in this species, L. cyanea has the lower neck, breast, 
and flanks a fine red buff, the chin and two streaks proceeding from 
it only being white. JZ. cyanea is also distinguished by a narrow 
pure white eye-streak.
