136 Zoology. 



Watling's note : " The natural size. This rare and curious 

 bird has a singular whistling note. It is often seen pursuing 

 smaller birds. The general likeness is good and is a strong 

 copy." 



No. 147. Sooty Thrush, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 185. 



Turdus fuliginosus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xlii. 

 This name is not quoted by Mr. Seebohm, but there can be 

 no doubt but that it is the Norfolk Island Thrush ( = the Ash- 

 headed Thrush of Latham, Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 373). In this 

 volume of Watling's drawings there are pictures of mammals 

 and birds from Norfolk Island, showing that he had been there. 

 The name of Merula poliocephala (Gould) must give way to that 

 of M. fuliginosa (Lath.). 



No. 148. Blue-headed Thrush, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 185. 

 Tardus cyanoce/plialus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xliii. 

 It is difficult to say what this figure is intended to represent. 

 I know of no bird from New South Wales anything like it. 



Watling's note : " Natural size. It is an uncommon bird. We 

 know nothing of its habits, etc." 



No. 149. Black-browed Thrush, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 185. 

 Turdus melanophrys, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xlii. 

 Manorhma melanopltrys, Gadow, Cat. B., viii., p. 259. 

 This drawing is the type of Latham's description of the Black- 

 browed Thrush, Manorliina melanophrys (Lath.). 



Watling's note : " The tongue is short and very brushy. 

 Native name Dill-ring." 



No. 150. Fly catching Thrush, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 185. 

 Turdus musticola, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xliii. 

 Sizura inquieta (Lath.), Sharpe, Cat. B., iv., p. 407. 

 This species has been described by Latham four times under 

 different names. 



Watling's note : " One half the natural size. Native name 

 Barra Well-WelU 



No. 151. Maxillary Thrush, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 186. 

 Turdus maxillaris, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xliii. 

 Spliecotlitres maxillaris (Lath.), Sharpe, Cat. B., iii., p. 224. 

 Watling's note : " The natural size of the bird the drawing 

 was taken from. December."
