NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXV. 1918. 33 



*164. Curruca albistriata Brehm = Sylvia mntillans albistriata. 



Curruca albistriata Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 229 (1855— Egypt). 

 Type : S ad., Egypt. 



165. Curruca obsoleta Brehm = Sylvia undata undata. 

 Curruca obsoleta Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 229 (1855— "Oberitalien "). 



Probable type : " ? ad., Italien, September 1829." 



The words " oben tiefgrau " in the description do not well suit this speci- 

 men, which is really brown on the upperside, but I believe that " tiefgrau " is 

 a slip, misprint, or fault. 



166. Mimus brachii Brehm = Agrobates galactotes syriacus. 



Mimus Bruchii Brehm, Isis, 1845. p. 337 * (Greece, specially Athens). 



Type : $ ad., Attica, 4. vi. 1842. 



167. Aedon meridionalis Brehm = Agrobates galactotes minor. 



Aedon meridionalis Brehm, Journ. f. Orn. 1856. p. 441 (Sennaar). 



Type : 3 ad., Blue Nile, Sennaar, xii. 1850. A. E. Brehm leg. 



168. Turdns juniperorum Brehm = Turdus pilaris. 



Tardus juniperorum Brehm, Isis, 1828. p. 74 (nesting near Ahlsdorf).! 



Type: <? ad., Ahlsdorf, 20. vii. 1824. Preiherr von Seyffertitz leg. 



169. Turdus SeyfEertitzii Brehm = Turdus obscurus Gm. 



Turdus Seyffertitdi Brehm, Lehrb. Nat. eur. Vog. ii. p. 972 (1824 — Ahlsdorf). 



Type : S (" primo auctumno "), Ahlsdorf bei Wittenberg, 30. ix. 1823. 

 Freiherr von Seyffertitz leg. 



170. Petrocossyphus polyglottns Brehm = Monticola saxatilis. 



Petrocossyphus polyglottus Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Vog. Deiitschl. p. 370 (1831 — " Sie lebt an der 

 Siidseite der Alpen, wahrscheinlich bei Triest, tragfc andere Gesange vortreffiich vor "). 



Type : 3 ad., died in cage in Vienna, 11. xi. 1824. (Probably in the posses- 

 sion of Count Gourcy-Droitaumont.) 



There is, in my opinion, no doubt that this specimen is the type of the name 

 P. polyglottus. The label had come off and was referred to the specimen by 

 Kleinschmidt. The indefinite and merely supposed locality, together with the 

 description of the song, indicate that the supposed species was described from 

 a cage-bird. The description agrees well with the example. 



* This is the earliest appearance of the name hruchvi. In Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 605, I quoted 

 Aedon Bruchii, 1856, as the oldest one. 



t This is the first publication of the name juniperorum. Also the name subpilaris was pub- 

 lished in 1828 {Isis, p. 66, from specimens nesting near Ahlsdorf), not 1831 as hitherto quoted.
