6. E. immaculatusy Hodgson, As. Res. XIX, 190. This resembles 

 the next species, except in having the upper-parts deep black, where 

 the other is slaty, and the tail seems to be constantly shorter ; its outer- 

 most feathers not exceeding four inches and three-quarters in any that 

 I have seen, whereas those of E. schistaceus measure commonly five 

 inches and a half. A very rare species in Nepal ; but common in 

 Arracan. 



7. E. schistaceus, Hodgson, 4s. Res XIX, 191. A common species 

 in the eastern Himalaya, and found likewise in the Temisserim pro- 

 vinces.* 



8. E. Scouleri, Vigors ; figured in Gould's < Century'. Himalaya ; 

 rarer to the westward. Remarkable for the shortness of its bill, and 

 for having the tail scarcely furcate.

Introduction. 



In the following introduction to a translation of the Bhasha Parich6da, 

 one of the most celebrated works of the Nyaya philosophy, it has been

 ideas of this and the Vaisheshika systems, to a critical review, in order 

 to bring the discussion about the merits of the philosophical researches 

 of the Hindus more to a point. Colebrooke's exposition of the Nyaya 

 and Vaisheshika systems, though founded on the ablest and most exact 

 researches, as well in a philosophical as in a critical point of view, does 



* It is probably Dr. W. Jameson's supposed new species, noticed in Calc. Journ. 

 Nat Hist. 1846, p. 360. 1 doubt whether many of that gentleman's Thibetan animals 

 will prove so new as he imagines: e. g. his Marmot (p. 361), and the Lagomys (?) 

 mentioned with it, &c. &c. The large Hare is doubtless L. oistolus (v. tibetanus) : 

 and 1 can already pronounce Ovis ammon to be distinct from O. montana.
