598 Notices and Descriptions of various new [No. 164. 



cap black in the male only ; lores and ear-coverts also black in both 

 sexes, extending a little along the sides of the neck ; a long white su- 

 percilium, tinged with rufous on the sides of the forehead in the male ; 

 throat, towards the chin, also white, but the rest of the under-parts 

 bright ferruginous, fading on the belly : bill deep coral-red ; and legs 

 dusky-brown. It is unusual, if not previously unexampled, for the 

 sexes in this genus to present any marked difference of colouring. The 

 species inhabits Darjeeling, and the mountains of Arracan. 



Here, then, are two more species of Pomatorhinus, to be added to 

 the ten (or eleven) enumerated in J. A. S. XIII, 946. I may remark, 

 also, that specimens of P. schisticeps from Tipperah and Arracan have 

 the rufous sides considerably brighter than any I have seen from the 

 Himalaya, though this difference may, after all, be merely sexual ; and 

 that there seem to be two marked varieties of P. erythrogenys, one 

 having white under-parts with merely faint traces of darker spots, the 

 other with the throat and breast densely mottled with greenish-olive, 

 much as in the darker specimens of P. rtificollis, though the latter 

 species has always a white throat. 



Genus Garrulax, Lesson. A more satisfactory reduction of the de- 

 scribed species of this extensive genus may now be offered, than that 

 given in Vol. XII, 948 ; but as there is no occasion for repeating here 

 the synonymes which are there brought together, I shall merely put 

 the word ante as a reference to them. 



1. G. Belangeri, Lesson, ante. Tenasserim and Pegu. 



2. G. leucolophos, (Gm.) : probably Ianthocincla leucocephala, Gould, 

 mentioned in P. Z. S. 1844, p. 92. Himalaya, Assam, Sylhet, and 

 Arracan. 



3. G. perspicillatus, (Gmelin), ante. China. ( Non vidi.J 



4. G. chinensis, (Scopoli) : G. auritus, fyc, ante. China. 



5. G. albogulariSy (Gould), ante. Himalaya. 



6. G. gularis, (McClelland). Assam. (Non vidi.J 



7. G. Delesserti, (Jerdon), ante. Neilgheries. 



8. G. pectoralis, (Gould): var. G. melanotis, nobis, ante. Hi- 

 malaya, Arracan. In the latter province, black-eared and silvery-eared 

 individuals occur commonly in the same flock, with every intermediate 

 grade ; but I have only seen the silvery-eared variety from the Himalaya. 



9. G. moniliger, (Hodgson). Himalaya, Tipperah, Arracan. 



10. G. McClellandii, nobis, ante. Assam. (Non vidi.J
