252 Ornithology of ' Amoij. [No. 3, 



54. Pipastes dgilis, (Sykes.) 

 Common during winter. 



55. Gorydalla Ricliardi, (Vieillot.) 



A common winter visitant ; deeply ochreous on its arrival, but 

 this appearance wears of as the season advances. 



56. Myioplionus caeruleus, (Scopoli). \_Nec. M. Temmhtcbh, Vigors.] 



Lives among rocky caverns ; not common, and very shy ; native 

 name Aiv-clmy. 



57. Turdus daulias, Temminck. 



Our commonest winter Thrush, answering ha every respect to the 

 description of the species in the Fauna Japonica, which work 

 represents a figure of the bird on Plate 26 ; but the first 

 notice of it is due to M. Temminck, who published a repre- 

 sentation of it in the Planches color. PI. 515. 



58. Turdus p aliens, Pallas, — pallidus, Gmelin. 



This species varies greatly in size, and is remarkable for its white 

 eye-streak. It strikes me that this is the rufulus of Drapiez 

 and modestus of Eyton, rather than the following. 



59. Tardus chrysolans, Temminck. Planches coloriees from Japan. 

 It arrives here in small parties in early spring, and at that time 



is of frequent occurrence among hushes and gardens. Besides 

 the above three, I have procured two other species still un- 

 identified. 



60. Mernla cardis, (Temminck.) 



This small and handsome species, so remarkable for the changes 

 it undergoes from the plumage of a Turdus to that of a true 

 Mernla, seems to form a natural link between the two sub- 

 genera. These changes of plumage have been well described 

 and beautifully figured in the ' Fauna Japonica.' It visits us 

 chiefly during winter, but I have no doubt that some of them 

 spend the summer near at hand, as I have met them here late in 

 spring. 



61. Merula mandarina, Bonaparte ; M. vulgaris of China, auctorun. 



A common resident everywhere up the coast. 



62. Oreocincla varia, (Lath.,) nee Horsfield ; Tardus TVhitci, 



Eyton. 

 A straggling visitant. Number of rectrices 14.
