THRUSH. 123 



Another of these, supposed to be a female, was brown above, 

 with a tinge of olive on the head and wings ; forehead, and all 

 beneath white ; tail rather shorter; the tips of all the feathers white ; 

 bill and legs black ; irides blue in the two last : they are both 

 represented as standing on the ground. 



152.— FLYCATCHING THRUSH. 



Turdus Muscicola, Ind. Om. Sup. xliii. 



Flycatching Thrush, Gen. Syn. Sup. ii. 185. Shaw's Zool. x. 296. 



SIZE of a Song Thrush ; length ten inches. Bill bent a trifle 

 at the tip, and brown, at the base a few hairs ; irides dark brown ; 

 the head, and sides of it beneath the eye, hind part of the neck, and 

 back bluish black ; chin, and all the under parts, white ; wings and 

 tail brown ; legs brown ; the wings reach a little beyond the rump. 



Inhabits New South Wales, called there Bana-will-will : said to 

 feed on flies, and other insects : seems much allied to the last. 



Among the collection of drawings of Mr. Francillon, is one with 

 the wings and tail, thighs and legs, black. 



153.— LIVELY THRUSH. 



LENGTH eight inches and a half. Bill and legs black ; general 

 colour of the plumage black ; over the eyes a streak of white ; under 

 wing coverts barred black and white ; tail cuneiform, the two middle 

 feathers being rounded at the end, and longer in proportion. 



Inhabits New South Wales : is a lively, active species, and seems 

 in many things to approach to the Volatile Thrush ; but, from the 

 shape of the tail, is certainly a different bird.
