7. T. atrogularis, Tern. : T. Naumanni apud nos, XI, 189/ Bychill 

 Thrush, Lath., the female. Common in the Himalaya, and I have also 

 seen it from Tipperah. 



8. T. Naumanni, Tern. A very rare species in the Himalaya. The 

 following appears to be the female. Length about eight inches and a 

 half; of wing five inches, and tail three and a half; bill to gape an 

 inch and one-eighth ; and tarse the same. Upper parts ruddy-brown, 

 the crown and ear- coverts dusky, with a whitish supercilium as in T. 

 iliacus ; throat and middle of belly white, the feathers of the sides of 

 the throat marked with a dusky medial line, and the breast and flanks 

 brown, with a pale margin to each feather ; sides of the neck below 

 the ear-coverts whitish ; the under-surface of the wing chiefly buff, with 

 the fore- part and the axillaries ferruginous : bill yellow with dusky 

 tip ; and legs brown. From Chusan, where collected by Dr. Playfair, 

 Surgeon of the Phlegethon War Steamer, and presented to the Society 

 by Dr. McClelland. 



9. T. ruficollis, Pallas. Nearly allied to T. atrogularis, from which 

 it differs in having the fore- neck and breast, supercilium, fore- part of 

 the under-surface of the wing, and the tail except partially at tip, fer- 

 ruginous ; lores, under the eye-streak, dusky ; and under-parts below 

 the breast white, a little sullied with light brown. In what appear 

 to be the females, the throat is albescent, with rufous lines, and striae 

 of dusky spots on each side ; the eye-streak also is whitish ; the ferru- 

 ginous colour of the breast weaker, with pale terminal margins to the 

 feathers ; and there is more dusky and less rufous on the tail. Bill 

 dusky, with more or less yellow at the base of the mandibles, the lower 

 being sometimes chiefly of this hue : and legs pale brown. Length 

 about ten inches, of wing five to five and a half, and tail four inches ; 

 bill to gape an inch and one-eighth, and tarse one and a quarter. In- 

 habits the Himalaya.
