Bopsaltria leucura and B. chrysorrhoa are two new species : the first, from 
Cape York, is the largest of the genus, and allied to B. leur.ogaster, but 
having white at the base of the lateral rectrices ; the second, from Eastern 
New South Wales and Southern Queensland, is rather larger than jE*. australis^ 
under which name it has been figured (B. Austral, iii. pi. 11), and similar in 
colour, but having the rump, as well as the breast, of a jonquil-yellow. B, 
7nagnirostris, Ramsay”^, from Rockingham Bay, is also differentiated as 
being like E. chnysorrhoa in colour, but having a conspicuously larger bill 
and shorter wings. J. Gould, Ann. & Mag. N. H. 4tli ser. iv. pp. 108, 109. 
The first named of these species figured. Id. B. Austral. Suppl. pt. v. 
Pardalotus xanthopygiis (Zool. Rec. iv. p. 96), note on the original descrip- 
tion of it. E. P. Ramsay, Ibis, 1869, p. 346. 
Timaliid/e. 
Trochalopterum fairhanki is described and figured as a new species from 
the Pulncy Hills in Southern India, very like T. jerdoni, and of about the 
flame size, but wiUi the head dusky above, with a distinct boundary, the 
back olivaceous, from the chin to the breast grey, the abdomen and under 
tail-coverts ferruginous. W. T. Blanford, J. A. S. B. xxxviii. pp. 176-177, 
pi. xvii. a. 
Drgmocharcs stellatus (Zool. Rec. v. pp. 80, 81) is figured. J. Gould, B. 
As. pt, xxi. 
Hirundinid^. 
Ilirundo fnscicapilla (Zool. Rec. iv. p. 96) is at last described as resembling 
II. griseopygay Sundev. ((Efvers. k. Vet. Ak. Forhandl. 1860, p. 117), but 
with a larger and broader biU, the rump of a smoky steel-colour, longer 
wings, and a differently shaped tail which has white spots on the rectrices, 
M. T. V. Heuglin, Orn. Nordost-Afr. i. pp. 164, 166. 
Ilirundo domicellay Hartl. & Finsch,” is the name given to H. melano- 
crissus, Hartl. (Orn. Westafr. p. 27) and Antinori (Cat. Ucc. Afir. centr. 
Nord, p. 26) (nec Riipp.). It much resembles H. melanocrissa {vera), but is 
smaller, .slenderer, and of a purer white beneath. Id. tom. cit. pp. 159, 160f. 
Ilirundo angolensis (Zool. Rec. v. p. 81) is figured and noticed. R. B. 
Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1869, p. 667, pi. xliii. 
Ilirundo cethiopica is a new species from Abyssinia and Nubia, resembling 
II. albigularis, Strickl. (Contr. Orn. 1849, p. 17, pi. xv.), but plainly smaller, 
with the pectoral band interrupted, and the throat and breast tinged with 
rufous. It is Cecropis rufifrons auctt., ex Abyssinia, and H. albigularis, 
Heugl. (Orn. Nordost-Afr. i. p. 163) (nec Strickl.). W. T. Blanford, Ann. 
& Mag. N. H. 4th ser. iv. p. 327. [Figured, Id. Geol. & Zool. Abyss. (1870) 
Pl- ii-] 
II. albigularis, Strickl. (ut supyb), is probably II. rujifrons, Vieill., which 
has been incorrectly described by Stephens. H. B. I’ristram, Ibis, 1869, 
p. 436. 
* Mr. Gould does not state whether this name is now used for the first 
time; it would seem to refer to a specimen mentioned by Mr. Ramsay 
(P. Z. S. 1868, pp. 384, 386), but not named there by him. 
t In this instance, as in one already mentioned, the work of Drs. Finsch 
and Hartlaub is cited from the unpublished proof-sheets.
