ashy^ with rufous mantle, wings, and tail. Prepared like the 

 Malaccan specimens. 



T. similis, Temm. A Mixornis, likeM. gularis (Horsf.); but 

 rather larger, with more graduated tail, and the back about 

 uniform brown with the cap and wings ; forehead grey ; throat 

 white, with black stripes; and rest of lower parts yellowish, 

 striped as in M. gularis. From Sumatra. 



Myiothera nigrogularis, Temm. A typical Turdinus, nobis, 

 and the largest of the genus. Sumatra. 



M. murina, S. Miiller, n. s. Also a true Turdinus, and the 

 smallest of the genus. Plumage as in its congeners, with long- 

 white supercilia, and white spots tipping the wing-coverts. 

 Length 41 in. ; wing 2 in. ; tail 1 in. ; bill to gape f in. 

 Sumatra. 



M. grisea, Miiller (?), =-Trichostoma sepiaria (Horsf.) and 

 Malacopteron cinereum, Strickland. 



Brachypteryx poliogenys, Boie, from Sumatra. A Trichostoma, 

 short-tailed, with grey ear-coverts and cheeks, white throat, and 

 blackish moustachial mark. 



Napothera atricapilla, Miiller, = Trichostoma rostratum, nobis. 

 Male with blackish cap ; female with brown cap. 



N. rM^ricGMcfa, Miiller, = Trichostoma ferruginosum, nobis, Bra- 

 chypteryx hicolor, Lesson.

 similar long rufous tail, greyish-brown crown, dusky moustachial

 virescens, nobis, from the Nicobar Islands). 



Trichophorus striolatus, Miiller. Like the last, but smaller, 

 with reddish brown on wings. (These two, with H. philippensis, 

 Strickland, should perhaps rather rank with amaurotis of China, 

 in Microscelis, Sw. ; but the distinction is very trifling. They 

 lead to my lole.)
