 This bird is provisionally retained in the genus Sylvia ; but the 

 imperfect development of the tail, and the length and strength of the 

 toes, more particularly of the posterior one, will probably at some 

 future time render it the type of a new genus.

This bird is named in honour of Dr. Burke, Inspector General 

 of Hospitals, Principal Medical Officer of the King's Army in In- 

 dia, by whom these birds were presented, and who has enriched the 

 Museum with an extensive collection in ornithology from Northern 

 India.
