brown, the small wing-feathers having a subterminal faint dusky bar, 

 and slightly tipped with albescent ; primaries dusky-brown : throat, 

 fore-neck, and breast, paler than the upper-parts ; the belly and under 

 tail-coverts white : a whitish line also from the beak to the eye above 

 it, and a darker one bordering it below on the lores. This specimen 

 (with the two Muscicapce just described,) formed part of a collection 

 made at Macao, but comprising many Malayan species; and it is pro- 

 bably Chinese. Eight inches (French) is stated to be the length 

 of M. Vieillot's species; but I have little doubt that the present speci- 

 men is correctly referred to it. 



T. solitarius, Vieillot, apud Diet Class. This is another little- 

 known Sandpiper, from the western coast of South America, interme- 

 diate to T. glottis and T. fuscus. Length about fourteen inches, of 

 wing seven and a half, and tail three inches ; bill slender, and two 

 inches and three-eighths to forehead, its tips much accurved ; tarse 

 two inches and three-quarters. Upper-parts olive grey, the feathers 

 laterally margined with dusky-black and whitish alternately, forming 

 the extremities of transverse bars which are obsolete in the medial 

 portion of the feather ; crown dark, the feathers laterally margined 

 with whitish; neck streaky, the dark colour predominating behind, 

 and the white in front; above the lores, the throat, and the under- 

 pays from the breast, pure white, having some dark streaks and broken 

 bars on the pectoral feathers ; primaries dusky ; the upper tail-coverts 

 chiefly white; and tail closely barred white and dusky, the colours 

 of its middle feathers blending except on their lateral margins. Bill 

 dark ; and the legs appear to have been greenish. Inhabits Chili. 



P. S It is so long since the foregoing Report, and the former por- 

 tion of its Appendix, were published, that I have now a few further 

 elucidations to offer on some of the groups treated of. 



Vol. XII, p. 930. For Erythrospiza rosea, read E. erythrina, vide 

 Strickland in An. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1844, p. 38. It is a typically 

 formed species. 



P. 933. Corvus rvfus, Lath., is identical with Crypsirina vaga- 

 bunda. Temnurus leucopterus seems to be allied to the Drongos, 

 and like them would appear to have only ten tail-feathers.
