Of specimens yand g Blyth writes “ lora. Although I never saw 
the zeylonica plumage here at any season, yet indications in this 
state are sometimes seen of it.” Strickland (Ann & Mag. N. H. vi. 
p. 422) considered JE. scapularis (Horsf. Trans. L. S. xiii. p. 152) to 
be the same as JE. tiphia (L.), but subsequently (Ann. & Mag. N. H. 
xiii. p. 205) he states that Dr Horsfield informed him that black- 
headed specimens of this bird never occurred in Java. In 1842 
(Ann. & Mag. N. H. viii. p. 372) he united PE. scapidaris and JE. 
zeylonica to JE. typhia , a view which may still prove correct.

1 This generic name was based by Vieillot on his Sylvia leucoptera , which, 
judging from the figure, is identical with Motacilla tiphia, Linn., the locality 
N. America being erroneous. Accordingly JEgitliina, Vieill. must supplant lora , 
Horsf., a view taken by Gray and Lord Tweeddale. In a note to Blyth’s 
‘ Further Observations on the Ornithology of Calcutta ’ (Ann. & Mag. N. H. xiv. 
p. 42) Strickland says that lie is disposed to place lora ( = JEgithina) with the 
Oriolince , and gives his reasons for this arrangement.
