84 THRUSH. 



beneath from the breast to vent, and beneath the tail pale rufous, 

 the last even at the end ; bill and legs black ; name Thurther Kum- 

 pee. The above from the drawings of Sir J. Anstruther ; found 

 also in Java, and there called Larvva. 



B. — Length eight inches. Bill dusky ; general colour of the 

 plumage pale olive-brown ; chin, belly, and vent white ; fore part of 

 the neck and breast dusky ; over the eye a white streak ; rump 

 mixed pale ferruginous and brown ; tail two inches and a half 

 long, even at the end, brown, with paler edges ; legs pale. 



Inhabits India, called the Persian Nightingale, and is probably 

 the female, or young bird, not come to perfection ; but I rather 

 suspect the former, as it was in the same drawing with one said to be 

 a male, and called Sama. 



One at General Davies's, from Ceylon, has the breast, belly, and 

 sides pale cinnamon; six middle tail feathers black, and three-fourths 

 of an inch shorter than the others ; the three outer white, with a 

 black base; the colours divided obliquely; legs brown. One of 

 these in the collection of the late Mr. James Daniels was named 

 Kaputoo Kook.
