21. Cinclus aquuticus, Bechst. Rivulets near Smyrna. I cite 

 this bird with some doubt, not having been able to obtain a specimen. 

 It is possible that the Smyrna Cinclus may be the C. Pallasii, Temm., 

 though I am inchned to refer it to the former species.

 habits are similar to those of our Wheatear, and from its shy and 

 restless motions it is very difficult to procure. 



*25. Saxicola (Enanthe, Bechst. Smyrna, in April. 



26. Saxicola Rubetra, Bechst. Common at Smyrna during the 

 winter. 



27. Phanicura suecica, Selby. I believe that I saw this bird near 

 Smyrna in April.

 the bare rocky hills near Smyrna, where it remains during the

 is only found in the most southei'n parts of Europe, remains through 

 the winter in the neighbourhood of Smyrna. It is a retired solitary 

 bird, frequenting sheltered ravines thickly beset with various ever- 

 green shrubs. 

 *33. Sylvia rufa, Temm. Shot near Smyrna in November. 

 *34. Sylvia brevirostris, mihi. Also killed in November near 

 Smyrna. This species, which I beheve to be new, may be thus cha- 

 racterized : 



Sylvia brevirostris. Sylv. corpore suprd, olivaceo hrunneo, sub- 

 tus albido ; pedibus nigris. 



Plumage closely resembling that of S. Trochilus. Above brown 

 with a tinge of olive. A pale yellow streak over the eye. ITiroat and 

 breast pale fulvous with a slight tinge of yellow ; belly whitish. 

 Inner wing-coverts of a pale yellow. Remiges: the 4th and 5th long- 

 est and equal: the 2nd equal to the 8th. Beak dusky; legs black. 

 Long. tot. poll. 4J ; rostri, \; caudte, 2^; al<e, 2|; tarsi, ^. 

 Differs from S. rufa in its greater size, and from S. Trochilus in 

 the shortness of the beak, and the dark colour of the legs.
