APPENDIX OR ADDENDA. 



(Remove No. 45 to the Miiscicapidce and before the description 

 of the female add) 



The bird that formed the subject of description in the Fauna Japo- 

 nica was most probably in full summer plumage. The account in that 

 work runs thus : — " Les parties inferieures de cet oiseau, a, partir du 

 menton, sont d'un brun ferrugineux jaunatre et tres-vif, mais passant 

 au blanc sur le has ventre. Cette derniere teinte occupe egalement les 

 couvertures inferieures de la queue, et les superieures des grandes cou- 

 vertures exterieures de l'aile. La moitie posterieure de la barbe externe 

 des cinq paires exterieures des pennes de la queue est egalement 

 teinte de blanc, les superieures des remiges secondaires sout bordees 

 de blanc, et on observe une raie blanchatre mais tres peu apparente au 

 dessus de la region des oreilles. Toutes les autres parties de l'oiseau 

 sont d'un noir, plus pale et tirant au brunatre sur les ailes. Les 

 plumes axillaires sont d'un brun ferrugineuse jaunatre, et less petites 

 couvertures inferieures des ailes, noires mais bordees de blanc." 



The only male as yet shot here was procured by G. Schlegel, Esq. 

 on the loth November, but instead of a black crown, back and scapu- 

 laries, it has those parts olive-brown with a reddish wash. The white 

 on the upper coverts is more indistinct ; and the basal portion of 

 inner webs of the 5 lateral rectrices are more or less white. In all 

 essential points it is so similar, that I have little doubt of its being 

 the Japanese species in male winter plumage. 



(Add, as a species, after No. 36, P. sylvicultrix.) 



PTiylloscopus hylebata, n. sp. 



From one individual in the collection of G. Schlegel, Esq. of Amoy. 

 I have compared this specimen with upwards of 20 or 30 specimens 

 of P. sylvicultrix, and come to the conclusion that it must be distinct. 

 Though the size of this species is greater, yet the 1st quill is more 

 minute than in the foregoing.
