This bird appears to be the common Carrion Crow of India ; it differs only in 

 size from the European Crow, and in the greater elevation of the bill. 



Genus Coracias. 



83. Coracias Bengalensis, Linn. Blue Jay from the East Indies, Edw.

 Garrulus STRIATUS. Garr. pallide brunneus, subtus pallidior ; corporis suprh 

 subtusque plumis in medio albo longitudinaliter striatis ; cristd verticali remi-

 This latter species was observed to deviate in general colour and markings from 

 the European species, although according in form ; and in the former charac- 

 ters to exhibit a manifest approach to the nut-crackers or the genus nucifraga 

 of Brisson. 



Genus Nucifraga. 

 Nucifraga hemispila. Nuc. castaneo-brunnea ; capite subtus , collo anteriori, 

 dorso, pectoreque albo maculatis ; capite summo, alis, rectricibusque intense 

 brunneis ; his, duabus mediis exceptis, ad apicem late albis. 

 This new species, in the shape of the bill, is shorter and stouter at the base than 

 in the European species, and approaches to the Jays. 

 Fam. Buceridx. — Genus Buceros. 



85. Buceros Gingianus, Lath. Indian Hornbill, Lath. 



There is some confusion with regard to this bird in Dr. Latham's General 

 History, under the heads of Gingi and Indian Hornbill : it is the Dhanesa of 

 India. 



86. Buceros Malabaricus, Gmel. Unicorn Hornbill, Lath. 



There is also much confusion with regard to this bird under the heads of Fied 

 Hornbill and Unicorn Hornbill of Latham : it is the Dhanesa of the latter, 

 var. B. 



Tribus Scansores.

Parakeet, Lath. sp. 74. var. A. 



89. PALSORNis FLAVlCOLLARls. Pal. viridis ; capite lilacino-cano, flavo mar- 

 ginato ; rectricibus mediis casruleis apice albo. 



Longitudo 12. 



According to the description, this would appear to be Dr. Latham's yellow 

 collared Par rakeet; but he refers to figures which do not correspond.
