Strickland (Ann. & Mag. N. H. xiii. p. 35) corrected Blyth’s 
statement (J. A. S. B. xi. p. 791) that the Indian species of this form 
is the M. leucura Latham but not of Gmelin, the fact being that 
Gmelin gave a Latin name to Latham’s bird, which the latter states 
came from the Cape of Good Hope. Strickland further suggested 
that as the description agrees fairly well with the Indian bird, the 
South African locality assigned to it was probably erroneous.

I do not see how Tickell’s name can possibly be used for this 
species. Its author gave no description of his own of the bird, sup- 
posing he had before him the “ Pied Flycatcher” of Linnaeus as 
represented by Bewick.
