*F. vespertinus, Lin. ; F. rufipes, Tem. ; F. subbuteo, Var. A., Latham, Gen. 

 Hist. I, 121, being the only notice of an Indian specimen which I have met with 

 previous to the present instance, which latter relates to that described in J. A. S. XI, 

 note to p. 162, as a small red-billed Falcon procured upon the Neilghierries in 

 January. 



*Accipiter minutus ?, Auct ; A. Besra, Elliot and Jerdon : young male. 



*Astur Indicus, Hodgson, 'Bengal Sporting Magazine,' 1835, p. 177; A. palum- 

 barius, Jerdon, Catalogue, vide Supplement to the latter. A typical Goshawk, having 

 an occipital crest: young male, and very fine old female. 



*Strix longimembris, Jerdon. 



*Syrnium Sinense. 



Meseidus Newarensis, Hodgson, .4s. Res. XIX, 168; Bulaca monticola, Jerdon,

 799, ante. 



* Hypsipetes Neilgheriensis, Jerdon. 



Tricophorus virescens, Jerdon. So far as can be judged from the specimen, this 

 does not appear to differ from Tr. Jlaveolus, Gould, P. Z. S. 1836, p. 6.% 



* Tr. Indicus. 



*Goldana (G. R. Gray) atriceps ; Brachypteryx atriceps, Jerdon.

* Turdus simillimus, Jerdon; the Neilghierry Blackbird: male, female, and young. 

 *T. fOreocincla, Gould,^ varius (verus), Horsfield; from the Neilghierries, vide 



Jerdon's Supplement. 



*T. Wardii, Jerdon. A remarkably coloured species, from Mysore, connecting 

 the Blackbird group with the Oreocinclce of Gould. § Length about eight inches, 

 of wing four inches and three-quarters, and tail three inches and three-eighths ; bill 

 to forehead (through the feathers) an inch and one-eighth, and to gape an inch 

 and three-eighths ; tarse an inch : third primary longest, and a little exceeding the 

 fourth, second and fifth equal, and first rudimentary. General colour deep black, 



* A small species, procured in the vicinity of Madras. Mr. Jerdon, in a letter which I have 

 recently receive*? from him, douhts the propriety of my referring it, hesitatingly, to Strix castanop- 

 tera, Horsfield, remarking that Lesson has desci-ibjed the latter, £rom a Paris specimen, as a 

 Noctua, and the description does not tally. It is probably a nejrspecies, and will be described as 

 such by its discoverer. 



t I have since obtained both this and the next species in the vicinity of Calcutta, where the 

 latter is tolerably common in the cool season, and the former not rare. To the synonymes of D. 

 ceneus (p. 800 ante), add D. eeralus, Stephens (p. 801 ante). 



% Mr. Jerdon, however, to whom I have since forwarded a skin of Tr. flaveolus, considers them 

 distinct, and I expect to receive other specimens from him of Tr. virescens. 



§ The T. mollissimus, Nobis, /. A, S. XI, 188, links the Oreocinclce with the T. musicus group.
