Birds. L33 



Tardus ryanous [cyaneus], Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xlii. 

 Entomyza cyanotis (Lath.), Gadow, Cat. B., ix., p. 268. 

 A poor figure, but it can only be referred to E. cyanqtis, 

 which Latham has described under several names. 



Watling's note: "Half the natural size. The yellow or 

 willow-green about the eye is entirely bare of feathers, resem- 

 bling much yellow morocco leather. The white on the vertex 

 forms a crescent, with its concave side towards the bill ; the 

 dark feathers from which to the bill are very short and thin, and 

 of a deep lead colour. The belly and feathers of the tail about 

 the vent are white, except just under the lower mandible, where 

 they are of a deep lead colour for about 1J inches running d«.\\ n 

 the breast. Tt has only one shrill whistling note, which it is 

 constantly repeating. It hops like the Magpie, has a feathered 

 Tongue, catches flies and insects of every kind, on which it 

 principally lives, and I am rather inclined to think sometimes 

 kills and eats small birds, from its attacking a Warbler I one day 

 put into the cage where I kept it for some time after being 

 wounded. This bird is very rare, and the only one seen."

 p. 221. 

 Muscicapa mystacea, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. Ii. 

 Ptilotis auricomis, Gadow, Cat. B., ix., p. 242 (vide supra, 

 no. 121). 

 Watling gives the following note: "Two thirds the natural 

 size. This bird is often seen contending with small Parroquets." 

 No. 134. Black-cheeked Warbler, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 248. 

 Sylvia chrysops, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. liv. 

 Ptilotis chrysops, Gadow, Cat. B., ix., p. 236. 

 This is the type of Sylvia chrysops of Latham. 

 Watling's note: "Half the natural size. It has a brush 

 tongue, and is a lively little bird; it lives a good deal on 

 honey." 



No. 135. The Flycatcher. 



Watling's note: "One third of the natural size. It has a 

 feathered tongue." This is a brown bird, whitish underneath, 

 but I am unable to identify the species. 

 No. 13G. 



Watling's note: "Half the natural size of the bird this 

 drawing was taken from." This has received no name from 

 Latham, as in the case of the preceding. I cannot identify the
