cochinsinensis of Latham, the Verdin cle la cochinchine of 

 Buffon, and that Mr. Blyth's name will stand good. It is 

 dispersed over all the southern part of India, but I have as 

 yet seen no specimens from any of the Malay countries, nor 

 has Mr. Blyth procured it elsewhere. 



4. C. Cochinsinensis [Lath.] Jardine and Selby, and other?, 

 C. Malabaricus apud Blyth, J. A. S., and Eyton, P. Z. S. — 

 Phyllornis Malabaricus Teram. P. C. — C. mystacalis Sw. ?? 

 I have not seen this except it be identical with Swainson's 

 C. mystacalis, a specimen of each sex of which, from Lord 

 Arthur Hay's collection, is now before me. The male of 

 mystacalis has however no trace of the azure patch at the bend 

 of the wing, nor of any blue on the wings and tail, nor is the 

 head yellowish. The female however corresponds with Mr. 

 Blyth's description of his female Malabaricus. Nevertheless 

 I shall consider them for the present distinct, till I have had 

 an opportunity of examining other specimens. Hab. Malay 

 countries. 



5. C. Sonneratii, Phyll. JUullerii T., Chi. Zosterops. Jard. 

 and Selby is fern. Tardus viridis Horsf. C. gampsorhynchos 

 J. and S., young male. Mr. Blyth says, I know not on what 

 authority, inhabits Southern India, and the Malay countries. 

 I have never seen it nor heard of its having been found in 

 Southern India.

 gasler., M. and H., C. auriventris, Delessert — C. cyanopterus, 

 Hodgs. Hab. Nepal, Assam, &c. 



I was at one time inclined to think that the figure in the 

 P. E. 643.3 was taken from an immature male «f this species.
