392 Appendix to Mr. Blyttis Report QNo. 1 49. 



No. 29, G. Delesserti, is nearly allied to G. gularis, No. 8. 

 The T urdus ochrocephalus, Gm., Horsfield, Lin. Trans. XIII, 

 149, is now doubtfully referred by Dr. Horsfield to this group. 



Nos. J, G. leucolophos, and 20, G. rufogularis, occur in Sylhet; 

 and the former also in Arracan. 



P. P. 953 and 958. The genus Ixops, as Dr. Horsfield informs 

 me, is identical with Actinodura, Gould ; and Sibia must be retained 

 for S. picoides and S. gracilis, while S. nigriceps should perhaps be 

 separated, and is allied to Yuhina, Hodgson, As. Res. XIX, 165. 



Leiocincla plumosa is also an inhabitant of Sylhet ; and the Turdus 

 canorus, Lin., mentioned in the note, I have now referred to the com- 

 mon Malacocercus of Bengal, vide note to p. 368. 



P. P. 955, et seq. The name Phyllornis has the priority over Chlo- 

 ropsis, and must therefore be adopted. The specimen which I de- 

 scribed as the female Ph. ccesmarhynchus proves to be a male of the 

 species referred to Ph. cochinchinensis by Mr. Jerdon : but it is doubt- 

 ful whether the latter be the true cochinchinensis, Auct, which is 

 described as being " towards the tail and outer edges of the wings 

 blue." Now Mr. Jerdon's species has no trace of blue either on the tail 

 or wings, except the usual verditer patch on the shoulders of the wings, 

 and a tinge of the same on the lesser coverts of old birds, the outer 

 primaries having their external webs more or less yellowish, especially 

 in the females and young. Should it prove distinct, 1 would propose 

 for it the appellation Ph. Jerdoni. The black portion of the throat of 

 this bird is surrounded by dull pale yellow, which is continued up 

 over the forehead. 



From Arracan, the Society has received three species of this genus, 

 viz. the Himalayan Ph, Hardwickii (v. curvirostris,fyc.) f which is there 

 rare, and the other two common, — Ph. aurifrons, and a species which 

 resembles the so-called Ph. malabaricus in size and colouring, but has 

 the bill more tapering and pointed, as in those of India. I do not like, 

 however, to venture on separating it from Ph. malabaricus. It may be 

 added, that Chloropsis mysticalis, Sw., refers to the female of the Ma- 

 layan malabaricus; and Turdus viridis, Horsf, (according to Mr. 

 Strickland,) is the female Ph, Sonneratii, v. Meliphaga javensis of 

 Dr. Horsfield's catalogue. 



P. 960. Pitta malaccensis has, I believe, been already so denomi-
