179— GUTTURAL THRUSH. 



Turdus gutturalis, Lid. Om. Sup. p. xlii. 



Black-crowned Thrush, Lenin's New-Holland Birds, pi. 6. 



Guttural Thrush, Gen. Syn. Sup. ii. 182. Shaw's Zool. x. 256. 



SMALLER than the Ceylon Thrush, to which it bears some 

 resemblance; length seven inches. Bill and legs black ; the head 

 also is black, reaching on each side as far as the breast, and there 

 forming a sort of crescent ; but the chin within is white, and the 

 nape inclines to yellow ; back and wings green ; breast, belly, and 

 vent, yellow; tail longish, even at the end, which is pale ash-colour 

 otherwise black ; the wings reach to the middle of it. 



A. — Muscicapa pectoralis, Ind. Om. Sup. p. Ii. 

 Orange-breasted Thrush, Lewin's New-Holland Birds, pi. 7. 

 Black-breasted Flycatcher, Gen. Syn. Sup. ii. 222. 



This is near eight inches long. Bill brown, with a few hairs at 

 the base; head, including the eyes, nape, and sides of the neck, black, 

 continuing in a band on the upper part of the breast ; chin and throat 

 white; upper parts of the body greenish yellow; beneath yellow; 

 wings black, the coverts edged with yellow; knees ash-colour; tail 

 black, three inches long, even at the end, tip yellow ; legs black. — 

 In one specimen the end of the tail was not yellow. 



Inhabits New-Holland ; found at New South Wales in April, but 

 the Guttural has been met with at Port Jackson in the winter : these 

 two are most probably only one species ; I suspect them to be the 

 same as M. Levaillant's White-chinned, given to him as a native of 

 Batavia.
