THRUSH. 51 



The above is all we can collect concerning this, which may be 

 called a rare species, but probably the bird may be more common 

 in some parts of Spain, as M. Aso records it as a species found 

 in Aragonia, though this author does not inform us of its manners, 



32— DARUNGA THRUSH. 



LENGTH six inches at least. General colour of the bill, legs, 

 and plumage black ; over the eye, from the nostrils towards the nape, 

 a whitish streak, but ceases before it comes to the latter ; breast, belly, 

 and thighs, white, also the upper tail coverts ; the greater part of 

 the tail from the base white, the side feathers being only tipped with 

 black for half an inch ; but the two middle ones have the ends black 

 for one inch and a half; the wings reach to more than half on 

 the tail. 



Inhabits India; found at Cawnpore in November. — General 

 Hardwicke. Named in his drawings, Darunga. 



This seems allied to the White-tailed Thrush, having the tail 

 exactly the same. 



Another of these, said to be a female, has the head and neck to 

 the breast, and wings, and the whole of the two middle tail feathers 

 dusky brown-black; on each jaw a large patch of deep black; breast, 

 belly, thighs, and rump, upper and under tail coverts white ; the 

 two middle tail feathers are black ; the rest white, except for about 

 half an inch at the end. 



This last was found at Anoopshere, in January.
