1872.] H. H. Godwin- Austen — Klmsi and Garo Sills' Birds. 143 



941. ThresMornis melanocephalus, Linn. In this specimfcn all the 

 quills are pure white. Shot in Mymensing in February. 



The following alterations in nomenclature have to be made in my former 

 papers. 



358. Turdus chrysolaus, $ recorded as from Cherra Punji, proves, on 

 further comparison, to be Turdus pattens, Pallas. T. dissimilis, Blyth, is very- 

 close to this last, but may be known at once by the very rich rufous colouring 

 on the sides of the breast and lining of the wings, it also wants the pale 

 supercilium of T. pattens. The bill is far stronger, of greater length, and pale 

 yellow in colour. 



396. Timalia pileata, Horsf, is the Java species, and our Indian bird 

 differs somewhat. On comparing my specimens with the true T. pileata in 

 Lord Walden's collection, the difference was at once apparent, a fact antici- 

 pated by Lord Walden at the time the comparison was made. I propose 

 that our bird should be called T. JBengalensis. The Indian form differs from 

 the Javanese, in the white on the forehead being larger, of darker brown on 

 the head, the darker tint of the back, and decidedly darker hue of the tail. 

 In size there is no perceptible difference. It is an interesting instance of a 

 race changing on its extreme limits. 



146a and 1465 are both Phyticeros plicatus ; the first being the fe- 

 male, the second the male. 



146c. Anorhinus galeritus Dr. Jerdon now pronounces to be a new 

 species altogether, and he will describe it under the name of A. Austeni. I 

 shot the bird in the 1ST. Cachar Hills near Asalu. 



141. Hydrocissa coronata, is alhirostris, the large variety, named by 

 Hutton affinis, from the DeyraDoon. 



405, (in 2nd list of birds), Pomatorhinus erythrogenys should be P. 

 Jiypoleucos, Blyth, originally described from Aracan. 



231a. Anthreptes ? is Ghalcoparia Singalensis, G-melin. 



With reference to some notes on my first paper by Mr. A. O. Hume, 

 where he says that 139, Serilophus rubro-pygea with the collar of shining 

 white must be the other species S. lunatus, I must remark that my two spe- 

 cimens are identical in every point, only that one has the collar well develop- 

 ed, in the other it is scarcely perceptible. 8. lunatus I never got, the points 

 of difference between the two species are well marked especially in the outer 

 tail feathers and general hue throughout the upper parts. 



London, Novb. 1871.
