not really belong to it, but proved to be the young of Turdus 
cardis, as I stated in a note to Mr. Swinhoe’s paper {ibid. p. 37). 
In the large series of Chinese skins, however, which Mr. Swin- 
hoe has brought with him on his recent return to this country, 
are several examples of this fine Thrush from Macao, which 
fully vindicate its claims to be considered as a new and very 
distinct species. For this very interesting addition to the 
Asiatic group of true Thrushes, I have Mr. Swinhoe’s kind per¬ 
mission to propose a name; and I therefore call it, from its 
discovery in the Camoens Garden, 
Turdus hortulorum, sp. nov. 
d Supra obscure cinereus, alarum pennis extus fuscis; subtus 
albus, fascia pectorali lata plumbea; abdominis lateribus 
et subalaribus lsete cinnamomeo-rufis; gutture laterali et 
fascia pectoris nigro maculatis; rostro et pedibus flavis. 
2 Supra fuscescens; fascia pectorali nulla, sed in hac parte, sicut 
in guise lateribus nigro maculata, rostro fusco. 
Long. tot. 8*5, alse 4-5, caudse 3*0 poll. Angl. et dec. 
Hab. In China meridionali. 
The rich cinnamon under wing-coverts render this fine species 
of Thrush easily distinguishable from every other known Chinese 
species, except Turdus cardis in its immature dress; but in 
Turdus cardis, of which Mr. Swinhoe has a very large series, 
the flanks invariably show black spots more or less. In Turdus 
chrysolaus , which has similar cinnamomeous flanks, the under 
wing-coverts are pale cinereous. 
Mr. Swinhoe supplies me with the following extracts from 
his note-book concerning this Thrush :— 
“ Amoy , 18 th Jan. 1859.—Shot a new species of Thrush this 
morning, with a grey breast. It was hopping about among the 
dead leaves of the garden picking up worms. It uttered to 
itself occasionally a low chuckle. 
“ Cinereous-breasted Red-wing, 6 . Length 8^; wing 4i ; 
tail 3; tarsus 1*1; mid toe 1*2; hind toe *7; bill, along cul- 
men, *7; to gape, IT; irides deep hazel; legs ochreous flesh- 
colour ; bill yellowish brown, with yellow rictus; upper parts 
deep smoke-grey, tinged on the head and back with olive-green; 
wings and tail wood-brown, more or less tinged with olive;
