ORDER PASSERES. 375 



Ring Ouzel. T. Torquatus, L. Enl. 168, and 182. 

 whose black feathers are in part edged with whitish, 

 and the breast marked with a patch of the same 

 colour. 



In the south of France there is also at times seen. 



The fVhite-tailefl Ouzel. T. Leucurus, Lath. Syn. ii. PI. 38. 

 Smaller, black, the croup, and tail (the extremity ex- 

 cepted,) white. 



In the high mountains of the south of Europe are 

 found 



The Rock-Crow. T, Saxatilis, Enl. 512, and the Solitary 

 Thrush. T. Cyaneus, Enl. 250, 



from which the T. Solitarms, according to M. Bonelli, 

 does not differ. 



The first, which lives more commonly in the north, 

 is best known ; it builds in steep rocks and old ruins ; 

 sings well. The male has the head and neck ashy- 

 blue, the back brown, the croup white, the under part 

 and the tail orange colour. 



We may conclude, with Shaw, that it is by con- 

 founding this species with the Jay of Siberia, that 

 Linnaeus has attributed to it the habits of the harpy, 

 and has named it at one time Conms, and at another 

 Lanius mfaustus. 



These two birds form the section Saxicola of the 

 genus Turdus of Temminck, to which Mr. Vigors has 

 given the generic name of Petrocincla. The Solitary 

 Thrush of Montague is a young Starling. 



There are also two other blackbirds found in Europe.
