I obtained this interesting addition to the Fauna of Southern 

 India from the range of Eastern Ghauts. 



No. 133 — Parisoma vireoides. — I have for some time con- 

 sidered this curious bird to be the Fringilla agilis of Tickell, 

 but have only lately procured another specimen to forward 

 to Mr. Blyth, and who has formed of it a new genus, Piprisoma, 

 and allies it to the Dicceum group, to the slender billed, 

 sombre coloured species of which it bears much the same re- 

 lation, that the genus Prionochilus of Strickland does to the 

 slender billed, gaudy coloured species of Malaisia. , The 

 synonyms of this species are as follows: Piprisoma agilis,' 

 Fringilla agilis Tickell, Pipra squalida, Burton— Parisom a 

 vireoides, Jerdon. 



Nos. 135, 136, and 136 bis — probably all belong to the same 

 bird, which must be referred, as I first pointed out, to Molacilla 

 viridis, Auct, taken from Brown's Illustr. of Zoology. It is 

 also (says Mr. Blyth) the M. bistrigata of Raffles. 



No. 139. — The Mot variegata ©f Vieillot was named previ- 

 ously by Latham M. Indica, and Mr. Blyth has lately creat- 

 ed a new genus for it by the name of Nemoricola. 



No. 140. — The white wagtail of India is Mot. luzoniensis, 

 Scopoli, since named leucopsis by Gould, and alboides by 

 Hodgson. 



* No. 144 bis. — The species which I mention under the 

 name of fuscoventris as having been seen, but not obtained 

 by me at the Neilgherries, proves to be a new species, which 

 I have named Leucocirca pectoralis. Vide my Illustr. Ind. 

 Ornith. pi. ii. 



Nos. 146 and 147.— The red bird is only the immature one 

 of the white— vide Illustr. Ind, Ornith. pi. vii.
