MS. “Illustrations of Indian Ornithology.” = 358 
Jerrugineus, adult and young, Muscicapule superciliaris, stro- 
phiata, and sapphira, adult and young, and a 'enasserim ex- 
ample of Hrythrosterna maculata are well figured ; while the 
plate of Humyias melanops, taken from Akyab individuals, 
appears to be referable to Cyornis unicolor. The young, in 
mottled plumage, and the adult male and female of Cyornis 
rubeculoides are represented on’ one plate, and figured from 
Tenasserim examples. All three species of Niltava are well 
delineated ; and N. macgregorie ¢, in the young plumage, is 
introduced. 
Volume vi. contains Part 2 of the DentirosrREs, and is con- 
fined to the Merulide, which family is made to comprise the 
Wrens, Pittas, Thrushes, and some of the Timeliine genera. 
It contains thirty plates, with figures of thirty-six species. 
Pnoépyga squamata and P. caudata are prettily figured on 
one plate; the first species with the throat and breast rufous. 
In the letterpress no fresh hght is thrown on the question of 
the perplexing changes of colour found in this species. Ri- 
mator malacoptilus is depicted running with long strides along 
the ground, and Zoothera marginata extracting worms from 
a river-bank, as observed by Colonel Tickell in Tenasserim. 
Turdus ruficollis (two plates), T. atrigularis, T. rufulus, T. 
mollissimus, T. dauma, and T. albicinctus are well figured. 
The first plate of the Timeline represents, under the title 
of Turdinus macrodactylus, the type of Turdinus crispifrons, 
Blyth (J. A.S.B. xxiv. p. 269). It was shot near Moul- 
mein. Colonel Tickell considers it to be identical with the 
Malaccan form. The young bird is figured with the sides of 
the head white. Trichastoma abboti, from near Moulmein, is 
figured and described as distinct, with the title of Turdinus 
insidiosus, and, on the same plate, a Tenasserian example of 
Stachyris nigriceps. | 
The next plate represents two little-known species—Turdi- 
nus guttatus, Tickell (J. A. 8S. B. 1859, p. 450), and Turdinus 
brevicaudatus, Blyth—both discovered by Colonel Tickell on 
the Mooleyit range in Tenasserim. Kxamples of 7. guttatus 
I have never seen; but, judging by the plate, 1t must be nearly 
allied to, perhaps a representative form of, the Malaccan Ji-
