33. Brown Wren. Phylloscopus fuscatus, Hodgson. 
This is identical with skins in the British Museum from 
Siberia, marked Sylvia sibirica, Pallas. 
34. Crowned Wren. Phylloscopus coronatus (Schlegel). 
All doubt about this species is at an end, as Mr. Fleming has 
brought specimens of it from Peking. 
39. Pale Redwing. 
Should be Turdus paliens, Pallas ( T '. obscurus, Gmelin). T. 
pallidus of Gmelin is the T. daulias of the * Fauna Japonica/ 
40. Red-tailed Fieldfare. 
This is, I find, the winter plumage of Turdus ruficollis, Pallas. 
To these Thrushes we may add, from Peking, 
Turdus sibiricus, Pall., 
T. fuscatus, Pall., and 
Petrocincla manilensis, Gmelin. 
41. Monticola —-? 
This Thrush has turned out, as I surmised, a new species. 
In my note, p. 332, I observe “abundant” has been mis¬ 
printed for “ aberrant.” Our species is rather a tree-bird than 
a rock-bird, like the Himalayan species cinclorhynchus, to which 
it is closely affine, and which has rightly enough been made the 
type of another genus, Orcecetes. The bird I procured was not 
quite mature; but Mr. Fleming's specimen (a fine adult male) 
afforded me an opportunity of describing it at the meeting of 
the Zoological Society. Our species is smaller in size, and has 
a shorter and more robust bill, than Q. cinclorhynchus, which is at 
once distinguishable from ours by its throat and neck being 
blue-grey like the crown, by the blue edging of its wings and 
tail, and by its having the white that adorns the wing extending 
over the six inner tertiary quills instead of only over the second 
and third consecutive feathers. 
Orcecetes gularis, n. sp. (Plate III.) 
Crown of the head, extending down the back of the neck, and 
carpal region of the wings clear French or lazuline grey. Loral 
space, sides of the neck, under parts, rump, and upper tail-coverts 
deep reddish buff. Auriculars, onwards to the back, back, sea-
