The second genus of the family will be my Perisoreus or the Dys- 
ornithia of Swainson, a northern group composed also of two spe¬ 
cies only, both well known, the European and Asiatic Perisoreus in - 
faustus and the American Per. canadensis ; for brachyrhynchus , Sw., 
is the young of the latter; and as to Garrulus ferrugineus , Beclistein, 
we cannot think of admitting it as distinct, although sustained by 
Wagler ; plate 48 of Levaillant, on which alone it is based, being much 
more like Perisoreus infaustus than the very plate 47 constantly 
quoted under that name. 
Third comes the true Garrulus , peculiar to the Old World, com¬ 
posed of our common Jay with its five closely-allied (or mere races), 
and two other more distinct, though hardly less typical, species. One 
of these, chief object of the present paper, is certainly by far the hand¬ 
somest, if not at the same time the largest, resembling most, especially 
by the small, lanceolate, white-shafted feathers of its throat, with barbs 
still more disjuncted, Garrulus lanceolatus of Central Asia, so well 
figured by Gould in his ‘ Century of Himalayan Birds.’ This bird 
may be appreciated also in its adult state under the name of Garrulus 
gularis, and in immature plumage under that of Garrulus Vigorsi 
among the ‘Illustrations of Indian Zoology.’ Our new species, not¬ 
withstanding its stouter and longer feet, its higher and much more 
compressed bill, and elongated square tail, can by no means be called 
aberrant.

Hab. The precise country of this Jay is not known; but Asiatic 
as it shows, and all circumstances induce us to believe, it must live 
in some very remote and unexplored occidental spot of China or Indo- 
China. The specimen described formed part of Baron van der Ca- 
pellen’s collection, purchased after the death of that Dutch governor 
of Malasia by Prof, van Lidtli de Jeude of Utrecht. 1 detected it last 
week during a visit I paid to that most splendid perhaps ot private 
collections with my learned friend Schlegel *.
