136 Second Supplement to the Catalogue of . [No. 31 



ern India. This bird very closely approaches the Certhilauda 

 c/iandoola (Franklin) of Northern India, and I think should 

 range with it in Certhilauda, though neither of them are typi- 

 cal species. Mr. Blyth considers it as possibly the Al mala- 

 barica of the older authors, but Mr. Strickland writes me, 

 that he thinks this name applies to a species of Mirafra 

 I serlt home, and which I had called M. affinis. 



No. 187. — This social lark, or Ortolan as it is usually called, 

 has been placed as the type of a new genus by Mr. Blyth, 

 and it will now bear the name of Coryphidea baghaira. 



No. 189. — The Mirafra Javanica, of my catalogue, I have 

 now reason to consider distinct, and have named it M. Ery- 

 throptera. It is described by Mr. Blyth in the Journal of the 

 Asiatic Society, vol. 13, p. 958, and a figure of it will shortly, 

 appear in my Illustrations. 



* No. 189 bis. — Miraf ra malabarica, M. affinis — Jerdon — 

 Blyth 1. c. — This allied species is found spread over a large 

 extent of country. I have seen specimens from Goomsoor. 

 It is abundant in all the Carnatic, and also in Malabar, and 

 in portions of the Table land. It is not found in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Jaulnah. It abounds in every compound in 

 Madras. 



* No. 188 bis. — Mirafra ffayii—new species. — The first 

 specimen I saw of this crested Mirafra was in the possession 

 of Lord Arthur Hay, after whom I have named it— I have 

 since procured it from Malabar, and from the Eastern Ghauts 

 — vide Blyth's paper 1. c. — for comparative descriptions of 

 all these. 



No. 190 Anthus agilis.— Mr. Strickland writes me that 

 specimens I sent have, with this name, differed from Sykes' 

 agilis. It appears to be the same as Ey ton's Anthus Mala- 

 ayensis. 



* No. 190 hk.— Anthus striolatus Blyth.
