The type of the following species is stated by Brisson to have been sent from the 
Philippines to M. Aubrey. It has not been since recorded as inhabiting these islands, 
and appears to be restricted to Ceylon and peninsular India.

1 Mr. G, R. Gray (Hand-list, i. p. 266) adopts Cercotrichas, Boie. The genus Cercotrichas was established by 
Boie (Isis, 1831, p. 542), without characters, in these words. ‘ Under this name I unite Turdus pheenicopterus, 
Temm., 7’. erythropterus, T. macrourus, Lath., 7. tricolor, Vieill., Saa. leucampter, Museum Berl.” Thus four 
distinct generic forms are united under one generic title, namely :— 
1. Turdus phenicopterus, Temm.,=Ampelis phenicea, Lath., a Campephaga; type of Cyrtes, Reichenbach. 
2. Turdus erythropterus, Lath., ex Gm.=Turdus podobe, L. 8. Miller; a Saxicoline form near to Z’hamnobia 
(conf. Blanford, Obsery. Geol. & Zool. Abyssinia, p. 360, no. 127). 
3. Turdus macrourus, Lath., ex Gm.,=Turdus tricolor, Vieill., type of Kittacincla. 
4. Saxicola lewcocampter, Lichtenst. Mus. Berol.=Motacilla fulicata, Linn., type of Thamnobia. 
Dr. Cabanis (Mus. Hein. i. p. 41), following Riippell (Syst. Uebers. p. 60), adopted the second species named 
by Boie as the type of Cercotrichas. Messrs. Finsch and Hartlaub, finding it impossible to recognize the 
incongruous group which Boie had brought together, appropriated (Vég. Ost-Afrik. p. 149) his generic title, 
re-establishing it as their own, and restricted it to Twrdus erythropterus, Lath., and Orgya luctuosa, Lafr. Mr. 
. G. R. Gray, however, has made the third species the type of Cercotrichas and superseded Kittacincla, Gould, 
an arrangement which cannot be upheld.
