190 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 



ever cited. Cuvier bestowed the Museum title of Gracula caudata on two examples in 

 the Paris Museum — one said to have been obtained in Australia, the other in Bengal. 

 Dr. Pucheran, however {I. c), is of opinion that the second example in reality came 

 from the Philippines, as Manilla is inscribed on its stand, and also because it agrees 

 with an authentic Philippine individual in the Paris Museum, obtained by MM. Eydoux 

 and Souleyet. I can find no other record of a species of this genus having been 

 observed or obtained in the Philippines. Indian authors seem to have been somewhat 

 hasty in identifying the common Indian Timalia chatarrhwa, Frankl., with Gracula 

 caudata, Cuv. Dr. Pucheran [l. c.) does not say that the Bengal bird is equally found 

 in the Philippines, as stated by Mr. Blyth {I. c). 



Timalia leucotis, Strickl., is erroneously given from Manilla by Mr. G. R. Gray in the 

 Hand-list, no. 4748. 



Homoclilamys luscinia, Salvadori, Atti R. Accad. So. Torino, v. p. 510, " Filippine o 

 China 1" '- (1870) is, according to its author, a Timaliine form, which was contained in 

 a collection of Chinese and Philippine birds sent to the Turin Museum. As the 

 describer is not certain of its origin, it is not included in this list.

' Erroneously stated in the ' Zoological Record ' for 1870, p. 47, to be irom the PhiUijpines and China, an 

 error repeated ia the Hand-list, iii. p. 263, no. 4763*. Count Salyadori has since (Ibis, 1873, April, p. 179) 

 identified it with Calamoherpe (HerUvox) canturietis, Swinhoe, a Chinese and Formosan species, but which 

 may migrate to the Philippines. Count Salvadori's generic title has precedence.
