 Siberian Titmouse, Gen. Syn. iv. 556. Shaw's Zool. x. p. 44. 



LENGTH five inches. Bill blackish; chin and throat to the 

 breast black ; top of the head greyish brown ; from the bill a white 

 streak passes beneath the eye, covering the sides of the neck and 

 breast, beneath the black ; from thence to the vent rufous grey ; 

 tail somewhat cuneiform, one inch and three quarters long, or more, 

 the outer feather bordered with rufous grey ; legs blackish. 



Inhabits Siberia. 



15— EASTERN TITMOUSE. 



Siberian Titmouse, Gen. Syn. iv. 556. 23. A. 

 Lathamian Titmouse, Share's Zool. x. p. 44. 



LENGTH five inches and a half. Bill black ; plumage above 

 the body pale brownish ash-colour ; forehead and under parts white ; 

 down the middle of the throat and breast black ; quills dusky, with 

 hoary margins ; tail two inches and a half long ; legs black. 



This was brought, among others, from an eastern voyage, but 

 from whence uncertain : it differs from the other in the length of the 

 tail, as well as in the chin and throat ; the black being there not so 

 broad, nor the white surrounding it so conspicuous ; neither has the 

 belly any rufous tinge. I have only seen one specimen, and that in 

 the Museum of the late Sir Ashton Lever.
