any time be available for examination. The second specimen figured on that plate is a male 

 from Belgrade, and clearly shows the white central patch on the feathers of the abdomen and 

 under tail-coverts which are characteristic of Turdus alpestris. I must here state that Count 

 Salvadori referred both figures on the plate in question to T. alpestris, and I am glad to be able 

 to confirm his statement. 



The specimens figured are an adult male and female in breeding plumage, for which I 

 am indebted to Mr. C. G. Danford, of Hatszeg, Hungary, and which are the birds I have 

 described above. The adult male and young female above described are those figured on 

 Plate 15 of the ' Birds of Europe.' 



In the preparation of the above article I have examined the following specimens : —
