318 MR. SWINHOE ON BIRDS FROM TIENTSIN. [Noy. 25, 
31. ORG@CETES GULARIS, 0. sp. 
In my visit to Pekin, I procured a specimen of this bird in not 
quite mature plumage, and noted it in my list in the ‘ Ibis,’ 1861, 
p- 332, no. 41, as a new species. Mr. Fleming’s specimen, being a 
fully matured male, affords me an opportunity of now describing it. 
It is closely allied to that interesting and beautiful form, O. cinclo- 
rhynchus of the Himalayas, being, like it, a tree-bird, rather than a 
rock-bird. Our species is smaller in size, and has a shorter and 
more robust bill. O. cinclorhynchus is at once distinguished in having 
the throat and neck a blue-grey, like the crown, in having the wings 
and tail edged with blue, and in having the white spot that adorns 
the wing on the six inner tertiary quills, instead of on only the 
second and three consecutive feathers. I will now proceed at length 
to define the species. 
ORG@CETES GULARIS, 0. sp. 
Crown of the head, extending down back of neck, and carpal re- 
gion of the wings clear French or lazuline grey. Loral space, sides of 
neck, under parts, rump, and upper tail-coyerts deep reddish buff. 
Auriculars, onwards to the back, back, scapulars, and lesser wing- 
coverts black. Wings and tail hair-brown, with a surface-wash of 
pale grey, chiefly conspicuous on the basal half of the latter. The 
feathers of the wing edged with pale buff, the greater coverts and 
tertials being strongly tipped with the same. A white spot, com- 
prising basal portions of the outer webs of the second, third, fourth, 
and fifth tertiaries, ornaments the wing. The singularly distinctive 
character whence I have drawn its name consists in a white line 
which, starting from the centre of the chin, runs down in front quite 
to the breast, broadening as it descends to the form of an isosceles 
triangle, a line of black spots edging for some distance the rufous 
that flanks its sides. Bill blackish brown, with bright yellow rictus, 
and inside to mouth. Legs and claws brown, strongly washed with 
ochre. Iris deep brown. Total length 7 inches, wing 4, tail 255. 
32. Orocorys PENICILLATA, Gould. 
This is identical with a skin from the Altai Mountains in Mr. 
Gould’s collection, marked O. sibirica ; but as no authority is given 
for that designation, I have preferred retaining the above name, 
which is synonymous with O. aldigula, Brehm. 
33. EMBERIZA RUTILA, Pallas. 
A fine male. 
34. EmBeriza STRACHEYII, Moore. 
This agrees well with a mounted skin from Kumaon, in the East 
Indian Museum, bearing the above denomination. 
35. FRINGILLA MONTIFRINGILLA, L. 
36, CARPODACUS ERYTHRINUS, Meyer.
