MIMOCICHLA CORYI, Sharpe. 
CORY’S GREY THRUSH. 
Mimocichla rubripes (nec Temm.), Cory, Auk, 1889, p. 81. 
Similis M. rubripedi sed pallidior, rostro pallidiore flavicanti-brunneo nec nigro, et plaga abdominali saturaté 
castanea magis restricta distinguenda. Long. tot. 10:0 poll., culm. 1:1, ale 5:1, caudze 4:65, tarsi 1:45. 
Tur Grey Thrush from the island of Cayman Brac seems to be distinct from M. rubripes of Cuba, 
with which Mr. Cory has identified it. Mr. F. D. Godman received three adults and one 
young bird from Mr. Cory in exchange; and I find on examination that all these birds have pale 
bills, while the patch on the abdomen is of a deeper chestnut, and not so cinnamon as in 
М. rubripes of Cuba. бо many of the species Кот Cayman Втас have proved to be distinct 
from their Cuban allies, that it is not surprising that the Mimocichla should also turn out to 
be different. 
A young bird is rather duller grey than the adults, with triangular spots of orange at the 
end of the wing-coverts; the black throat-patch of the adults is represented by a mass of 
triangular black spots, extending to the base of the chin, and there is only a small white 
cheek-stripe; the grey feathers of the underparts have black bars at the ends with a subterminal 
wash of pale cinnamon. The bill is pale horn-brown, with a conspicuous yellow base to the 
mandible. 
The specimens described are in the Salvin-Godman Collection. They were collected by 
Mr. C. J. Maynard, and were sent in exchange by Mr. C. B. Cory to Mr. Godman. (В. B. S.]
