REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
Dentirostres. — Brehm, after dividing the Lanius minor into five, 
and the L. collurio into seven sub-species, in the Isis, p. 652, gives a 
copious history of the habits of both these species. Hartlaub asserts, in 
the Rev. Zool. p. 57, that Malaconotus aurantiopectus, Less., is iden- 
tical with M. chrysog aster, Swains. ; also Pycnonotus niveoventer, Less., 
with Graucalus pectoralis, and Pycn. carhonarius, Less., with Cehle- 
pyris lugubris, Sundev. 
Delessert, in his Souv. d’un Voy. a I’lnde, p. 24, asserts his Muscicapa 
variegata to be identical with Siva strigula, Hodgs., and has given a 
drawing of it on tab. 8. A short description has been given of M. rufula, 
Lafr. Hartlaub has defined, as identical species (Op. sup. cit.), Platy- 
rhynchus pseudogilla, Less., and Musicapa mystacea, Spix {Fluvicola 
cursoria, Sw., (Enanthe climazura, Yieill.) ; also Muscipeta lapis, 
Less. = if. melanops, Vig., of which M. thalassina, Sw., will be the 
female; Muscicapa bilineata, — Acanthiza arrogans, Sund. ; 
Setophaga castanea, lLiess. = Muscicapa vulnerata, Wagl. Lafresnaye 
has found a second species of Coptirus, G. leuconotus, from Bolivia (Rev. 
Zool. p. 335). Lesson’s Psaris tityroides comes from Central America. 
(Ibid. p. 210.) 
Gould, in his Birds of Australia, part 6, has figured six species of 
Artamus ( Ocypterus) ; A. sordidus. Lath., cmer ms, Vieill., nmior, VieilL, 
superciliosus, G., personatus, G., and leucopygialis, G. 
SuBULiROSTRES.^ — A Specimen of the Turdus varius, Pall., was killed in 
Sweden (Jemtland) in the year 1837, and described by Sundevall in the 
K. Vet. Acad. Handl. p. 36. The reporter takes this opportunity of 
observing, that another specimen was shot in Steiermark last harvest, 
and sent to the Vienna Cabinet. Turdus nigropileus, Lafr. is described 
by Delessert in his Souvenirs, p. 27. Hartlaub, Rev. Zool. p. 58, defines 
T. collaris, Sor., as identical with T. albocinctus, Royl. ; Petrocinclafer- 
rugineov enter, Less., with P. rujiventris, Jard. ; Ixos plumigerus, Lafr., 
with Brachypus leucogenys. As the name Crateropus Delessertii, Lafr., 
was already given by Jerdon to another species, Delessert has now 
defined it in his Souv. p. 28, as Cr. Lafresnayii. Sibia nigriceps, 
Hodgs.= Cinclosoma capistratum, Vig. (Hartl. in the Rev. Zool. p. 202). 
Timalia pcecilorhyncha, Lafr. = T. subrufa, Jerdon. (Deless. Souv. 
p. 28.) 
Townsend has pointed out, in the Journ. of the Acad, of Nat. Sc. of 
Philad. viii. p. 149 and 159, that the bird drawn by Audubon, as Sylvia 
Philadelphia, is very different from a species found by him at Columbia 
River, and to which he gave the name S. tolmcei: afterwards, when 
Audubon perceived his error, he gave it the name of S. Macgillivrayi. 
Brewer has corrected, in Sillim. Amer. Journ. xlii. p. 132, many mistakes 
of Audubon in the definition of the American Sylvice. Muscicapa Selbii, 
And., is the young of Sylvia cucidlata, Wils. ; Syl. Vigorsii, Aud., the
