45. Acrocephalus aoricola Jerdon. 
Op. cit. p. 206. Examples in the Paris Museum of Calamoherpe 
concinens Swinhoe have been re-labelled Acrocephalus agricola Jerdon. 
C. concinens was founded by Swinhoe on some examples of A. agricola 
collected by Pere David near Peking (Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 432). 
According to Pere David, this species “ breeds in numbers in, all the damp 
spots of the Great Chinese Plain ” (Ois. de la Chine, p. 252). Mr. Styan 
found it very plentiful at Kiukiang, where it breeds (Ibis, 1889, p. 444). 
46. Tribura russula (Slater). 
Op. cit. p. 206. On comparing Homochlamys brevipennis Verreaux with 
this bird, I wrote that the shafts of the tail-feathers of II. brevipennis 
were light-coloured. A careful re-examination of the type of H. brevi¬ 
pennis showed that T. russula is a very close ally of this species. The 
type of II. brevipennis differs only as follows from my series of T. rus¬ 
sula :—The cheeks and underparts are lighter, the stems of the rectrices 
are darker, and the bill is stouter and paler.
