THRUSH. 37 



thirteen lines long, and deep orange-colour ; wings and tail brown, 

 but deeper than the rest ; the latter four inches and a half long, even 

 at the end ; legs oker yellow. 



Inhabits Ceylon, there called Makalau Alu Kuttiya ; in the 

 collection of Mr. Cotnyns. This seems to coincide greatly with the 

 Persian Species, but differs chiefly in the crown being black. 



In the collection of drawings of the late Mr. Samuel Daniels, I

 the under parts ; bill and legs flesh-colour. 



This was found at Ceylon, by the name of Demmah Leechan.

 of the belly, whitish, inclining to rufous on the sides, speckled with 

 deep brown ; under tail coverts pale rufous, with white tips ; the rest

 head ; wing coverts fringed with yellowish ; legs brown.
