I obtained this interesting addition to the Fauna of Southern 

 India from the range of Eastern Ghauts. 



No. 133 — Parisoma vireoides. — I have for some time con- 

 sidered this curious bird to be the Fringilla agilis of Tickell, 

 but have only lately procured another specimen to forward 

 to Mr. Blyth, and who has formed of it a new genus, Piprisoma, 

 and allies it to the Dicceum group, to the slender billed, 

 sombre coloured species of which it bears much the same re- 

 lation, that the genus Prio?iochilus of Strickland does to the 

 slender billed, gaudy coloured species of Malaisia. The 

 synonyms of this species are as follows: Piprisoma agilis, 

 Fringilla agilis Tickell, Pipra squalida, Burton — Parisoma 

 vireoides, Jerdon. 



Nos. 135, 136, and 136 bis — probably all belong to the same 

 bird, which must be referred, as I first pointed out, to Moiacilla 

 viridis, Auct, taken from Brown's lllustr. of Zoology. It is 

 also (says Mr. Blyth) the M. bistrigata of Raffles. 



No. 139. — The Mot variegata of Vieillot was named previ- 

 ously by Latham M. Indica, and Mr. Blyth has lately creat- 

 ed a new genus for it by the name of Nemoricola. 



No. 140. — The white wagtail of India is Mot. luzoniensis, 

 Scopoli, since named leucopsis by Gould, and alboides by 

 Hodgson. 



* No. 144 bis. — The species which I mention under the 

 name of fuscoventris as having been seen, but not obtained 

 by me at the Neilgherries, proves to be a new species, which 

 I have named Lcucocirca pectoralis. Vide my lllustr. Ind. 

 Ornith. pi. ii. 



Nos. 146 and 147. — The red bird is only the immature one 

 of the white — vide lllustr. Iud. Ornith. pi. vii.
