 colour of the plumage emerald green, having a tinge of olive on the 

 upper parts, and on the lower of yellow ; chin yellowish ; inner webs

90— CHALYBEATE THRUSH. 



Tuvdus chalybeus, Lin. Trans, xiii. p. 148. 



LENGTH seven inches. General colour of the plumage steel 

 black, glossed with green ; feathers of the neck stiff and pointed ;& 

 quills and tail deep black, shape of the latter rounded. 



Inhabits Java, and called there Sling. Dr. Horsfield thinks it 

 somewhat different from the general tribe of the Thrush Genus, as 

 the bill is considerably arched, and convex at the sides, with a 

 downy covering to the nostrils, approaching to that form which is 

 exhibited in his Genus of Irena and Oriole. 



* In this somewhat resembling the Yellow-crowned Species.
