* Alcurus striatus paulus, subsp. nov. 



2 specimens, Loukouchai, Feb. 



Type: — Adult d', M. C. Z. No. 62,006 Loukouchai, 5 February, 

 1911. 



Characters. — Similar in color to true striatus of the Himalayas, 

 but size much less. 



Remarks. — Gates (Fauna of British India, 1889) pointed out the 

 difference in size between birds from the Himalayas and those from 

 Tenasserim and Manipur. Our specimens agree in measurements 

 with those from the latter region and are so much smaller than Hima- 

 layan examples as to leave no choice but to give this little form a 

 name. 



Xanthixus flavescens (Blyth).
