pointed feathers. Bill *9, to gape 1*15; blackish yellow

Mr. Campbell, of the Lighthouse, sent me a female on the 
3rd of June 
“ $. Length 8*6. Wing 4*5; first quill -78; second *2 
shorter than the third, which is the longest, 1*85 shorter 
than the tail-tip, 1*5 longer than the tertiaries. Tail 3 4 
long; outer rectrix *35 shorter than the central, all mucro- 
nate. Tarse 1*05 ; middle toe and claw 1*2 ; ochreous yellow

36. Gold-sided Grey Thrush. Turdus chrysopleurus } 
sp. nov. (Plate XIY.) 
On the 15th May Mr. Campbell sent me, among other 
birds, a new Thrush which he had just shot on Lighthouse 
Island. It was a good deal battered; was a male on dissec¬ 
tion, with enormous testes. 
Total length about 9 inches. Wing 4’7; first quill *35 
shorter than the second, which, with the third, is the longest 
in the wing; fourth T shorter; wing-tip 2*15 short of tail- 
tip. Tail 3*4; under tail-coverts P2 short of its tip. Bill 
from forehead *82, from gape 1*05. Tarse 1*23; middle toe 
*9, its claw '28. Bill, inside of mouth, and skin round eye 
orange-yellow. Legs and toes the same. 
This is the only specimen that turned up at Chefoo; and 
I was disposed to think that it was a straggler from Corea; 
but I have seen a very tolerable drawing of it among some 
sketches of native birds; so it may be commoner in other 
parts of this Province. It is called in the sketch “ Hwuy-ke” 
(M.D. 4523, 5315) or Ashy Fowl. The nearest ally among 
the Indian Thrushes to this species that I have seen is one 
shown me by Lord Walden, Geocichla tricolor , Hume, which 
differs from ours in having the upper parts black instead of 
grey. The female of G. tricolor resembles closely the female 
of Turdus dissimilisj Blyth.
