PASSERES. 
267. Drymceca jerdoni? 
Prinia sp. ? Blyth, J. A. S. B. xi. p. 883. 
Prinia inornata , Blyth, J. A. S. B. xiii. p. 376. 
Drymoica jerdoni, Blyth, J. A. S. B. xvi. p. 459. 
a Madras (“ Prinia jerdoni , Blyth V T. C. Jerdoni) 1846. 
— b S. India (T. C. Jerdoni) 1847. — c S. India (“ P. jerdoni , 
Blyth ?' T. C. Jerdon ) 1850. 
These specimens, sent by Jerdon as doubtfully referable to D. 
jerdoni , Blyth, were considered by Strickland certainly to belong to 
that species. They agree fairly with Blyth ’s description, being similar 
to D. sylvatica, but decidedly smaller. Jerdon (B. Ind. ii. p. 180) 
refers this bird with doubt to what he calls D. longicaudata , Tick. 
But this name cannot be thus used, for Tickell in employing it was 
bestowing no new title but merely misapplying Gmelin’s name for 
Orthotomus longicauda.
