that Division thoy should pn»ve interesting, they may be pure molano- 

 notus or may bo like my Goalpara spocimen. Under nidilicatinn of 

 (ieitnivus leuctDnclaniit, Mr. Baker mentions getting some eggs of that 

 species from Dr. H. N. Coltart which had originally been brought to 

 Mr. Ferry from the hills above I3ettiah. 1 have also four eggs in my 

 collection which 1 got from Dr. Coltart, who received them from Mr. Ferry, 

 and which were got from the same spot or from the hills near Bhikiia 

 Thori ; they behmg to two separate clutches. The vernacular name for 

 Getmuus vwlanvnotitx, which I have heard in many parts of the hills, is 

 Kalij. 



Since writing the above on the Goalpara skin shot by Mr. E. O. 

 Shebbeare, I have come across a letter from Mr. Stuart Baker who wrote as 

 follows about this specimen. The letter had got mislaid and I did not 

 remember that he had made any remarks about it. He wrote " I make your 

 bird out to be huojicldi with an inclination towards the melanonohis form 

 which is what one niisht expect at that point, Goalpara." I still wonder 

 what the bird I saw at Sivoke could have been.
