APPENDIX OR, ADDENDA. 



(Remove No. 45 to the Muscicapidcd and before the description 

 of the female add) 



The bird that formed the subject of description in the Fauna Japó- 

 nica was most probably in full summer plumage. The account in that 

 work runs thus : — " Les parties inférieures de cet oiseau, á partir du 

 mentón, sont d'un brun ferrugineux jaunátre et trés-vif, mais passant 

 au blanc sur le bas ventre. Cette dernieré teinte oceupe également les 

 couvertures inférieures de la queue, et les supérieures des grandes cou- 

 vertures extérieures de l'aile. La moitié postérieure de la barbe externe 

 des cinq paires extérieures des pennes de la queue est également 

 teinte de blanc, les supérieures des rémiges secondaires sout bordees 

 de blanc, et on observe une raie blanchátre mais tres peu apparente au 

 dessus de la región des oreilles. Toutes les autres parties de l'oiseau 

 sont d'un noir, plus pále et tirant au brunátre sur les ailes. Les 

 plumes axillaires sont d'un brun ferrugineuse jaunátre, et less petites 

 couvertures inférieures des ailes, noires mais bordees de blanc." 



The only male as yet shot here was procured by G. Schlegel, Esq. 

 on the 15th November, but instead of a black crown, back and scapu- 

 laries, it has those parts olive-brown with a reddishwash. The wJiite 

 on the upper coverts is more indistinct ; and the basal portion of 

 inner webs of the 5 lateral rectrices are more or less white. In all 

 essential points it is so similar, that I have little cloubt of its being 

 the Japanese species in male winter plumage. 



(Add, as a species, after No. 36, P. sylvicultrix.) 



Phylloscopus hylebata, n. sp. 



From one individual in the collection of G. Schlegel, Esq. of Amoy. 

 I have compared this specimen with upwards of 20 or 30 specimens 

 of P. sylvicultrioc, and come to the conclusión that it must be distinct. 

 Though the size of this species is greater, yet the lst quill is more 

 minute than in the foregoing.
