ZOOLOGICAL LTTERATUllE. 
The author in this portion of his Catalogue groups together a 
most heterogeneous assemblage of birds^ Corvidm^ Paradiseida, 
OriolidcBj Bturnid(2y but^ worst of all, Coi'aciidce, so that it is 
almost impossible to give here a clear account of them. The 
Corvidce, in which we include the author’s genera Corvus^ Nuci- 
fraga, PioUj Cyanocorax, PicatharteSy PyrrhocoraXy GarruluSy 
CissUy GlaucopiSy ChalybmiSy CracticiiSy and LycocoraXy appear to 
be represented in the Leyden Museum by 685 mounted speci- 
mens, belonging to 116 species (besides a single cranium belong- 
ing to another) j but this number would doubtless be greatly en- 
larged by naturalists holding other views than those of Prof. 
Schlegel. {Cf, Ibis, 1867, p. 111.) • 
Corvus coronoideSy the two races (or species confounded under this name) 
(Zool. Kec. ii. p. 121) remarked upon. E. Blytli, P. Z. S. 1807, pp. 605, 600.

Dendrocitta himalayensis is separated from D. sinoisis, which has a com-
