 (Riipp.), Loche, Expl. Sci. Alger. Ois. i. p. 201 (1867). 

 203. Add Saxicola albicollis (Vieill.), Bp. Consp. Gen. Av. i. p. 303 (1850). 

 211. Delete Saxicola hendersoni, Hume, et Saxicola tolas, Severtzoff. 



219. According to Mr. Seebohm (Cat. Turd. Brit. Mus. p. 370), both Saxicola erythrosa, 

 Ehr., and S. halophila, Tristr., refer to the young of Saxicola lugens, Licht., i. e. 

 Saxicola leucomela (Pall.), mihi, p. 231 ; but of this I have been as yet unable to 

 convince myself satisfactorily, though at the same time I believe that I was in error 

 in identifying the species there referred to, and figured by me on PI. XXIX., with 

 the Arabian Chat, and think it highly probable that Mr. Seebohm may be right. 

 The Arabian Chat figured on PL XXVIII. will stand as Saxicola finschii ; and the 

 synonyms Saxicola erythrcea and Saxicola halophila will have to be expunged from 

 the list. 

 223. Tristram's Chat (PL XXX. and PL XXXII. fig. 2) will stand as Saxicola mcesta 



(see p. 229). 

 227. The Red-rumped Chat (PL XXXI. and PL XXXII. fig. 1) will stand as Saxicola 



xanthoprymna (see p. 229). 

 231. According to Mr. Seebohm (Cat. Turdidae, p. 370) the Pied Chat should stand as 



Saxicola lugens, and not as Saxicola leucomela. 

 235. Recently received collections containing a large series of Saxicola hendersoni show that 



this species should be united to Saxicola morio, as pointed out by Mr. Seebohm. 

 263. Since writing the article on Pratincola rubicola I have found that the Eastern form 

 can be distinguished from the West-European species by the upper tail-coverts, 

 which in the former species are unspotted white, whereas in the true Pratincola 

 rubicola they are marked with dark colour ; and in the Eastern form the axillaries 

 are much blacker than in true P. rubicola ; but these distinctions are not so clearly 

 discernible in immature and autumn-killed examples, though they are sufficient to 

 enable one to separate the two species. Under these circumstances I think it 

 advisable to separate the Eastern form under the name of Pratincola maura, the 

 synonymy being as follows : — 



Motacilla maura, Pallas, Reis. Russ. Reichs, ii. p. 728, no. 17 (1773). 

 Sylvia maura (Pall.), Latham, Ind. Orn. ii. p. 526, no. 62 (1790). 

 Saxicola rubicola, Frankl. P. Z. S. 1831, p. 119 (nee Linn.). 

 Saxicola rubicola, Temm. & Schl. Faun. Jap. Aves, p. 58 (1842, nee Linn.). 

 Saxicola saturatior, Hodgs. in Gray's Zool. Misc. p. 83 (1844). 

 Pratincola indica, Blyth, J. A. Soc. Beng. xvi. p. 129 (1847). 

 Saxicola rubicola, Schrenck, Amur-Lande, i. 2, p. 358 (1860). 

 Pratincola indica, Blyth, Jerdon's B. of Ind. ii. p. 124, no. 483 (1863). 

 Pratincola indica, Blyth, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1871, p. 360, no. 167. 

 These references will therefore have to be expunged from the synonymy of 

 Pratincola rubicola ; and the references to the occurrences of the Stonechat in Asia 

 and in the extreme eastern portion of Russia in Europe will refer to Pratincola
