iJri/mocattipltuK fuvliix, "WaMcii. 



Lord Waldcii tliiuks that "if distinet from the Indian species," tliis is trno 

 Ahhotti. "What tliis means is not clear, as Abbotti is the only Indian species of tho 

 genus ! 



T. KUHlGixosA, Walden. Ivaren-ni. 



Al.CIl>l>E NlI'ALENStS, Hodg. 



A. Phayrci, Hlyth (monento aiictorc, B.B,, p. llo). 

 A. magnirostris, Walden (tide lliime). 



Hume in liis list keeps these apart, pointing' out ceitain dilferenres in colour and 

 range, Nipdlcnsin representing, as might be anticipated, the Maulmaiu race ; I'liai/rvi 

 that occupying tho plains. 



TuRDiNCJS CRisi'iFRONs, Blyth. Limestonc Ranges in 5[artaban and Tcnassorim. 



These are lividy spriglitly birds, always peering about the abrupt crags, which 

 form their home, and witli lowered wings and erected tail fre(|Ucn(ly ])oiiriMg forth 

 u tine and powerful song (I)avison).

Tickell records it from forests at 3000 feet. 



S. RUFiFKONs, Hume. fiutan. Arakan. I'egu. 



S. pracognitus, Swinhoe (?). 

 Hume thinks that S. ruficeps, Blyth, which is inserted by Lord Wuldeii in J!. B. 

 from Karen-ni, is really this species.

M. ciULARis, Horsf. Southern Tenasserim. 



These are, it may be presumed, respectively the Northern and Southern races of 

 one species, not improbably dilferentiated, as they seem, by the unexplored break 

 of 110 miles between Thayetehoung and Jlcrgui (S.F. vi. p. 207).

1\ Jerdn)ii, Walden, ? . Tenasserim. Malayan Peninsula. 



T. Iknyalensis, God.-Aust. Java. 



.Icrdon describes this species as having the greatest geographical range of any (jf 

 its family, and as a conseijuence it was bound to undergo much, at the hands of earnest 

 naturalists, its friends. Of necessity a widely-s|)read species will display local 

 variations — but why magnify these into species? The practice really recurs ud nauxeum, 

 and should be abandoned. For some piuigent remarks l)y Mr. Hume on T. Jerduni, 

 SCO S.F. vi. p. 2G8. 



Cyanoderma eryturoi'ieka, Blyth. Southern Tenasserim. 



In this species the plumage and size of both sexes are identical. The jiest is a ball 

 of reed heaves, with a circular entrance on one side very like that of Mijxoinia 

 rubricapillus and JJumetia (S.F. vi. p. 270). 



Malacoi'teron magnum, Eyton (apud Hume). Pakchan. 



A rare straggler from the south, and has much of the Bulbul in its deportment.
