Dr. Hartert ( Uiij. I'al. F. vol. i. j). 334) states that the range of Sitta europaea 

 nagaensis Godwin Ansten, includes the Naga Hills, Assam, and the Southern Shan 

 States. Having compared birds from the latter district with typical examples of 

 S. e. montium La Tonchc, 1 find that Nuthatches from the Sban States all have the 

 undersurface distinctly washed with creamy-buff and are not to be distinguished from 

 Kuatum l.irds, killed at the same time of the year. The Southern Shan States are 

 inhabited by S. e. montium and not S. e. nagaemiis.
