Dr. Horsfield places in this genus Gracula Saularis, 

 under the name of Turdiis Amcenus. Cuvier refers 

 it to the Lanii. Turdus Labradorus, Palmarum, Hud- 

 sonhis, and Noveboracensis, are Icteri. 



T. Sjyeciosiis and Alhifrons are Muscicapae. 



T. Leucocephalus, T. Ochrocephalus , Malabaricus, 

 * Rosens, and Pagodorumi, are Pastors, 



T. Jugularis, T. Manachra, T. Motacilla, and T. 

 T. Arundinacea, are Orioles. 



T. Aurocapillus and T. Calliope, are Sylvian. T. 

 Cyanus is a female Chatterer. Le Fluteur, Vail, is a 

 Malurus ; and T. Orientalis, a Lanius. 



Neither can one distinguish by sensible characters 

 certain blackbirds of Africa, which live in numerous 

 and noisy flocks, like the starlings, and pursue insects 

 or make great havock in gardens, (the Stournes of 

 Daudin or the Pastors of Temminck) : one of them 

 is often found in Europe, which is

 always since been arranged, he has formed into a genus, 

 under the name of Gracida ; which see.
