198 PALE THRUSH. 
vidual sent by Professor Pallas during his sojourn in 
the Crimea, by whom it is said to inhabit only Eastern 
Siberia. It is therefore necessary to erase this bird 
from the European catalogue. 
Turdus solitarius, Wilson; T. minor, Latham.—One 
specimen killed December 22nd., 1825, in the Duchy 
of Anhalts-K6then. 
Turdus auroreus, Pallas; T. Bechsteinii, Naumann.— 
In his “Catalogue” Schlegel says this bird has been 
observed many times in Germany. In his observations, 
page 70, he says its claim rests upon a specimen re- 
ported by Gloger to have been killed in Silesia. It 
is omitted from the European list by Temminck and 
Degland, the latter of whom remarks that its appear- 
ance within the geographical limits of Europe has not 
been satisfactorily demonstrated. It is quite probable 
that it may occasionally appear, as well as other Asiatic 
species recorded, but I agree with Degland that the 
evidence on this point is not satisfactory. 
My readers will be kind enough to consider the 
above among the doubtful Kuropean species.
