958 Mr. BlylKs Report for December Meeting, 1842. [No. 143. 



tail are slightly (more or less) tinged with azure. Inhabits the Malay 

 countries ; and is doubtful, at present, as occurring in Malabar. 



6. Chi. Sonneratii) J. and S. ; Phyllornis Mullerii, Tern. ; the female 

 Chi. zosterops of the Monograph by Messrs. Jardine and Selby ; and 

 the young male apparently Chi. gampsorhynchus of the same. Adult 

 male having the throat, loral region, and intermediate space, intense 

 black, with a narrow moustachial streak of smalt-blue ; the bend of the 

 wing greenish-verdigris in some, others having little or no trace of 

 this. Female having the throat and orbits yellow, and a slight blue 

 moustache. Inhabits Southern India and the Malay countries. Of 

 seven adult specimens before me, two or three have the bill closely 

 approximating that represented of Chi. gampsorhynchus. 



A seventh inhabits the Malay countries — Chi. cyanopogon ; 

 Phyllornis cyanopogon, Tern. : with a short bill, only the chin black, 

 and a long ccerulean moustache-streak. 



P. 187. The bird which I designated Heterophasia cuculopsis is 

 identical with Mr. Hodgson's Alcopus f olim SibiaJ picoides, J. A. S. 

 VIII, 38 ; but as this genus appears to correspond exactly with Actino- 

 dura, Gould, P. Z. S. 1836, p. 17, I must (provisionally at least) con- 

 sider them as identical, in which case the following species would be 

 comprised in it. 



1. Act. Egertonii, Gould, P. Z. S. 1836, p. 18. Nepal. 



2. Act. gracilis; Hypsipetes gracilis, McClelland and Horsfield, 

 P. Z. S. 1839, p. 159, which appears to me clearly referrible to this 

 genus, from Dr. McClelland's drawing of it. Assam. 



3. Act. picoides; Sibia picoides, Hodgson, J. A. S. VIII, 38; 

 Heterophasia cuculopsis, Nobis, Id. XI, 187. Nepal, Bootan. 



4. Act. nigriceps ; S. nigriceps, Hodgson, loc. cit. Nepal, Bootan. 

 Same page. The Accentor to which I applied the name Himalaya- 



mis with a mark of doubt, may be now termed A. variegatus ; as the 

 following species of this genus also occur in the Himalaya. 



A. Nipalensis, Hodgson. Allied to A. alpinus, as indeed are both 

 the others, yet this most so, though intermediate in plumage to that 

 species and A. modularis. Length about seven inches, of wing three 

 inches and three-quarters, and tail two and three-quarters ; bill to 

 gape five-eighths of an inch, and tarse fifteen-sixteenths of an inch. 

 Newly moulted adults have the upper-parts nearly as in A. modularis,
