252 Ornitliology of Amoy, [No. 3„ 



54. Pipantes agilis, (Sykes.) 

 Common during winter. 



55. Corydatta PicJiardi, (Vieillot.) 



A common winter visitant ; deeply ochreous on its arrival, but 

 this appearance wears of as the season aclvances. 



56. MyiopJwnus cceruleus, (Scopoli). [JVec. M. Temminckit, Vigors.] 



Lives among rocky caverns ; not common, and very shy ; native 

 ñame Aw-chuy. 



57. Turdus daulias, Temminck. 



Our commonest winter Thrush, answering in every respect to the 

 description of the species in the Fauna Japónica, which work 

 represents a figure of the bird on Píate 26 ; but the first 

 notice of it is due to M. Temminck, who published a repre- 

 sentation of it in the Planches color. Pl. 515. 



58. Turdus pallens, Pallas, — pallidus, Gmelin. 



This species varies greatly in size, and is remarkable for its white 

 eye-streak. It strikes me that this is the rufulus of Drapiez 

 and rnodestus of Eyton, rather than the following. 



59. Turdus clirysolaus, Temminck. Planches coloriées from Japan. 

 It arrives here in small parties in early spring, and at that time 



is of frequent occurrence among bushes and gardens. Besides 

 the above three, I have procured two other species still un- 

 identified. 



60. Merula cardis, (Temminck.) 



This small and handsome species, so remarkable for the changes 

 it undergoes from the plnmage of a Turdus to that of a true 

 3Ierula, seems to form a natural link between the two sub- 

 genera. These changes of plnmage have been well described 

 and beautifully figured in the ' Fauna Japónica.' It visits us 

 chiefly during winter, but I have no doubt that some of them 

 spend the summer near at hand, as I have met them here late in 

 spring. 



61. Merula mandarina, Bonaparte ; M. vulgar is of China, auctorun. 



A common resident every where up the coast. 



62. Oreocincla varia, (Lath.,) nec Horsfield ; Turdus Whitei, 



Eyton. 

 A straggling visitant. Number of rectrices 14.
