OIIDER PASSEKKS. 17^ 



Sturnus Unicolor. Temm. PI. Col. iii. Viel. Gal. 

 PI. xci. 



All black, with slight puqilc reflexions, not very 

 brilliant. South of Europe, and Egypt. 



Cape Stare. Sturnus Capensis, Enl. 280. 



Black; white beneath; round the eye, bare, and orange- 

 coloured; patch of white on side of face. Cape of 

 Good Hope. St. Contra, of Albin, docs not differ, 

 but is of the East Indies, not the Cape. 



Magellanic Stare. St. Militaris. Enl. 113. 



Brown above ; chin, breast, and upper part of belly, 

 crimson ; white about the head. Straits of Magellan. 



Louisiana Stare. St. Ludovicianus. Enl. 256. 



Brown and ru.ous-gray above, underneath yellow ; 

 white about the head ; size of a lark. The same as 

 Alauda Magna. Gm. Catesb. 1. 83., Stournelle a 

 collier. Vieil. Gal. pi. xc. and Wils. III. xix. 2. 



Red Oriole. Oriolus Ruber. Gm. UEtourneau a 

 Camail rouge. Sonn. Nouv. 9- pi. Ixviii. Amhly- 

 ramphus Tricolor. Leach. Zool. Misc. pl. xxxvi. 



Head, neck, back, and thighs, vermilion red. A fine 

 species of the Steppes of Buenos Ayres, not of India, 

 as Sonnerat affirms. 



The Sturnus Cinelus forms a genus, as the reader 

 has seen above, near the thrushes : the Sturnus 

 Sericeus. Brown, III. 21. is rather a marten. 



The Sturnus Collaris is the same as the Alpine 

 warbler (^Accentor). The Sturnus Carunculatus 

 should, in my opinion, be placed with philedon.
