A. Graucaliis macei macei Less. : India. 

 (I have not sufficient material to discuss whether several forms might be 

 separable in ludia ; but I think that probably a South Indian and Ceylonese form 

 is separable, which would have to be called G. m. luijurdi.) 



B. (iraucalus macei dobsoni Ball : Andaman Islands. 

 (Differs from G. m. macei in being much lighter throughout, and smuller. 

 I find that the white tips to the rectrices are generally very little less extended 

 than in G. m. macei, therefore Mr. Gates' key, B. Iiidiu, i. p. 40(5, is not very 

 useful. Dr. Sharpe places this "species" in another genus: Artamides ! A fine 

 examj)le of the uni)rofitable and unscientific genus-splitting rage as carried on 

 by some of our friends, but worst of all by Dr. Bianchi, who uses the Darwinian 

 theory as an excuse for his proceedings !) 



C. Graucaliis viacei rex-pineti Swinh. : Formosa (and apparently parts of 



Southern China). 



Differs chiefly in having a black throat, and altogether more black around the 

 face. 



Sharpe and Gates separated this form on account of its having bnif under 

 wing-coverts and axillaries ; but this is a mistake, as they are pure white, more or 

 less barred with dark grey.

The male differs from that of C. h. hardioickii in having the top of the head 

 greyish or blnisli green instead of yellowish green ; the throat is much more blue, 

 not 80 blackish, and the bine on the shoulder is deep violet purple instead of cobalt 

 blue. The female differs in having the head greyish green, especially on the sides, 

 instead of green, and in having no orange colour on the abdomen, this being uniform 

 green, including the under tail-coverts.
