I used the name for the third species, which later research showed to be identical with A. cervinus. 
The name J. thermophilus, as used by me, must therefore be understood to refer to A. cervinus. 
This is easily to be seen in Ibis, 1861, p. 411, which is, I think, the last time I used this name. 
On my return to England soon after, when on a visit to Mr. Stevenson, I saw the original Hong- 
kong Pipit with Gray’s label affixed, and discovered then for the first time that it was the fulvous 
form of Anthus richardi, which Bonaparte has separated as A. sinensis.” 
I may here remark that I have examined the type of A. thermophilus in the British Museum, 
and find it to be identical with Corydalla rufula. 
The specimens figured are, on the one Plate an adult male on the left, and an adult female 
on the right, both being in full breeding-plumage ; on the second Plate are—on the left a speci- 
men in full winter dress, and on the right one also in winter-plumage but having still some 
remains of reddish buff on the throat. The former of these is from Amoy, and the latter from 
the Khathane, near Constantinople. The two birds in breeding-plumage are the specimens 
described, locality being given with the descriptions.
