records of the occurrence of this species in Scandinavia and the basin of the Baltic. As long ago as 
1849 the Königsberg Museum possessed an example which was shot at Elbing, on the southern | 
shores of the Gulf of Dantzig (Homeyer, Rhea, ii. p. 145), and in the same museum there are the 
remains of an example killed in 1879 in the same district (Hartert, Ibis, 1892, p. 358). In the 
Stockholm Museum there is a still older example, which was killed in November 1837 in the province 
of Jemtland in Central Sweden (Sundevall, K. Svensk. Vetensk.-Akad. Forh. 1840, p. 36); and 
recently an example was procured in October 1879 in the south-west of Norway, in the Ryfylke 
District, north-east of Stavanger, in the museum of which town it has been placed (Collett, Vid. Selsk. 
Christiania Forh. 1881, part 10, p. 1). 
Тһеге are two records of the occurrence of White's Thrush in the basin of the Danube. Тһе 
earliest refers to an example which was bought in the flesh in the Vienna bird-market about half a 
century ago, and was in the Museum of Prince Richard von Khevenhulle-Metsch at Ladendorf, four 
hours' journey from Vienna (Dr. J. В. S., Isis, 1845, p. 564). А second example is in the Vienna 
Museum and was bought from a dealer in 1847 as having come from Aspang to the south of Vienna, 
and was recorded under the name of Turdus dauma (Pelzeln, Verh. zool.-bot. Gesellsch. Wien, 1871, 
p. 703). 
There are eight records of the occurrence of this species in Italy and the Transalpine Tyrol. 
The first example was caught on the 7th of October, 1854, near Borgo, in the Val Sugana east of 
Trient, and was placed in the Museum at Roveredo (Unterstainer, Comm. Fauna etc. Verr. et Trent. 
p. 252). The second was caught in 1861 in the same district, at Arco on the Lago di Garda 
(Althammer, Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1861, p. 553). The third was bought in the winter of 1863 in 
the bird-market of Genoa, and is now in the Turati collection in the Milan Museum (Salvadori, Cat. 
Ucc. Sardegna, p. 26). The fourth was procured on the 17th of October, 1870, near Genoa, and is 
now in the Civic Museum of that city (Salvadori, Faun. Ital., Uccelli, p. 78). The fifth was shot on 
the 14th of October, 1873, at Poggio Scali in the Tuscan Apennines, and is now in the Florence 
Museum ; and the sixth, which was also shot in the autumn of 1873, near Rome, is now іп the 
University Museum of that city (Giglioli, Ibis, 1881, p. 197). The seventh example was procured 
in the autumn of 1885 on the Island of Elba (Giglioli, Avifauna Italica, i. p. 186) ; and the eighth 
on the 8th November in the Siena District (Brogi, Revista Italiana, 1889, p. 272). 
Eleven examples have been recorded from Belgium and the valley of the Rhine. Тһе earliest 
(and, so far as is known, the first record of the species in Europe) is that of an example in the 
Metz Museum, which was caught in the woods of Rezonville in September 1788, and was described as 
а new species under the name of Turdus aureus by Holandre (Ann. Verronaire, 1825, p. 310). Тһе 
examples recorded in 1840 as having been caught on the Rhine and in Germany (Temminck, Man. 
d'Orn. iv. p. 604) may possibly refer to birds sent from Heligoland, and being without exact date or 
locality may be passed by as of no scientific value. 
The second authenticated individual was caught on the 17th of October, 1842, in the forest of 
Dron-le-Mont, and was placed in the cabinet of Baron de Selys-Longchamps ; the third was bought 
about the year 1846 by Monsieur C. F. Dubois in a collection of Belgian birds, which were 
unfortunately without exact localities or dates; the fourth was discovered in the year 1854 by the 
last-named ornithologist in the Museum at Grez belonging to the Prince de Looz, whose curator 
assured him that it had been procured at Namur (Dubois, J. f. O. 1856, p. 239). Тһе fifth was 
caught in October 1855 near Louvain and came into the possession of Monsieur Bovie; and the sixth 
was shot about the same date near Jemappes and sold to M. Denison (Dubois, J. f. O. 1856, p. 505). 
A seventh specimen was obtained on the 28th of September, 1864, at Bereren near Antwerp 
(Croegaert, Bull. Mus. Roy. Belg. 1888, p. 106). Тһе eighth was shot, in October 1870, near 
Termonde (Alph. Dubois, Faun. Ill. Vertébr. Belgique, Ois. p. 271), and a ninth specimen was
