280 Dr. Sclater on the Geographical Distribution 
said by Drapiez to occur also in Java, and certainly ranges as 
far as Labuan, where Mr. Mottley obtained specimens, now in 
Mr. L. L. Dillwyn's collection. In Java also occur Temminck's 
Turdus mutabilis —a very close ally of T. sibiricus , but, according 
to Prince Bonaparte (Compt. Rend, xxxviii. p. 4), distinguish¬ 
able from it—and Horsfield's Turdus javanicus, of which later 
synonyms appear to be Turdus fumidus , Miill., and T. hypo - 
pyrrhus j Hartlaub (Verz. Brem. Samml. p.43). A nearly allied 
representative of the latter bird inhabits Timor, if the specimens 
are accurately labelled in the Leyden collection, and may be 
called Turdus schlegelii *, after the present eminent director of 
that establishment. Excluding therefore the three intruders 
from Northern Asia, the Indian Thrushes appear to be about 
fifteen in number, some of which (e. g. T. pelodes and dissimilis) 
require further comparison and examination.
