on Dr. Jerdon’s ‘ Birds of India.’ 
325. Erythrosterna acornaus. 
Figured in summer plumage by Mr. Hodgson, with pale 
rufous lores, throat, and fore-neck, as also in the mottled 
plumage of immaturity. It is readily distinguished from E. 
pusilla by the colour of the rump-feathers. 
326. Erythrosterna maculata. 
Female dull slaty-brown above, white beneath, with rufescent 
tail unmarked with white (Hodgson’s drawings). Also from 
Timor (Ibis, 1865, p. 44) ! A specimen received in a Javan 
and Moluccan collection by the Asiatic Society, Calcutta, from 
that of Batavia. Muscicapa solitaria } Muller, (p. 434) is an 
Anthipes (Ibis, loc. cit.). 
327 and 328. Tesia castaneocoronata and T. cyaniventer; 
Gould, B. As. pt. x. pis. 
A third species of the genus exists in the Micrura superciliaris , 
Bonap., from the mountains of Java. 
333. Troglodytes nipalensis, Hodgs.; Gould, B. As. 
pt. iv. pi. 
Brachypteryx leucophrys (p. 496) is figured as a Myiothera 
by Temminck (PL Col. 448. fig. 1). It is evidently the female 
of a species of which the male would be cyaneous where its mate 
is brown, and the name implies a special resemblance to B . 
montana and B . cruralis. The sexual diversity of colouring in 
this genus is just that of so many of the Myiotherince and 
Thamnophilinoc of South America. 
339. Callene rufiventris. 
Female brown, with the abdominal patch whitish instead of 
rufous. Not unlike Muscicapa longipes , Garnot (Voy. de la 
Coquille, Atlas, pi. xix. f. 1), assigned to New Zealand! But 
no such bird is given in Mr. G. R. Gray’s list (Ibis, 1862, p. 214). 
340. Callene frontalis. 
The female is figured together with the male in one of Mr. 
Hodgson’s drawings in the British Museum. Dusky brown 
above, with pale centres to feathers; below paler, with dull 
albescent spots. (Immature plumage ?) Nest domed and like 
a Wren’s, with clay-coloured eggs.
