throat yellowish white, spotted with light blackish arrow-heads, 
which darken and form into a line on each side, with a light 
orange patch on each side of under nape; breast smoke-grey, 
blotched with faded brown; under wing-coverts, flanks, tibiae, 
and a line across the lower breast fine orange-buff; bill and 
under tail-coverts pure white.” 
“ Amoy, Q>th March, 1861.—Another male of the above, with 
the breast-band not fully developed; bill light brown; legs and 
toes brownish flesh-colour, darkest at joints of toes; angle and 
inside of mouth orange-yellow.” 
<c Amoy, 2nd April, 1861.—Old female of the above procured, 
without breast-band. Length 8; wing 4*4; tail 3. Bill dusky 
yellow ochre, patched on the tips and base of upper mandible 
with light brown; angle and inside of mouth bright yellow; 
eyelids pale yellow; legs, toes, and claws brownish ochre, 
washed with yellow, conspicuously so on the under tarsi. This, 
on dissection, proved an old female, with numerous eggs in 
ovary ; epithelium of gizzard of a dusky yellow, rugose, con¬ 
taining remains of grubs and beetles.” 
In my article on the geographical distribution of the genus 
Turdus, published in this Journal in 1861 ( c Ibis/ 1861, p. 277), 
I have allotted only six species of Thrush to the column of 
China. Mr. Swinhoe's discovery of the present species adds a 
seventh to the list; an eighth will be Turdus ruficollis (which 
Mr. Swinhoe's Red-tailed Fieldfare turns out to be *, not 
T. naumanni as I had anticipated); and a ninth, Turdus nau - 
manni, of which a fine adult Chinese example has been already 
figured in last year's volume (PL X.). Mr. Swinhoe's explora¬ 
tions in Formosa have also resulted in the discovery of five 
species of Thrush visiting that island. I have a specimen of 
Turdus chrysolaus, from Manilla, lent me by Mr. Gould, which 
further extends the range of the true Turdi (as visitants) in a 
westerly direction. The present amended table will show at a 
glance the general distribution of the Thrushes of Eastern Asia, 
as far as we are at present acquainted with it—the names 
printed in italics signifying that the species are only winter 
visitants to the countries to which they refer.
