Blyth remarks : " Prohably O. jocosa, var. sinensia, J. Anderson, from Bhamo. 

 Barely separable from 0. jocoxa of Bengal and Northern India, whieli again only 

 differs from 0. fmcicauddfa, Guuld, of South India, by having white spots on its 

 rectricos. Another instance of different local races or subspecies. Mason remarks 

 that this is one of the most common l)irds in the neighbourhood of Tavoy."

Davison describes this as a sprightly bird, but with very few feathers on the 

 neck, so that it rarely makes a good specimen.

Lord Waldcn remarks : — " I have great doubts whether this is a .species distinct 

 fi'om B. mehmocephdus. It seems to be rather a variety, the yellow of the nape and 

 under surfai^e being eliangcd to grey. A Malaccan example in my collection is in 

 a stage of transition from yellow to grey. Whore not grey, these examples do not 

 differ from B. melanocephaluH. Mr. Blyth describes 'the tail-feathers as being less 

 di'Cply tipped with yellow,' etc., but the rectrices in these two examples are identical 

 with those of Malaccan and Burraan specimens of B. riu-linwcephahis. In Sumatran 

 Ixm chalcocephalus all the yellow plumage of B. melanoci'phalus is changed to grey, 

 the black and metallic parts only remaining the same in the two forms. Whether it 

 be considered as a distinct species or not, B. cinerekentris is an interesting example 

 of an ' incijiient ' species." 



For remarks in support of this view, see Hume (S.F. vi. p. 319).

Lord Waldcn remarks (B.B. p. 135), "Rangoon examples more properly fall 

 under the race named pygmis, by Hodg. This appropriate title, which had been 

 adopted by .Terdon, Blyth, and other accurate authors, was changed through misprint, 

 or other error, in the Hand List No. 3957, to the inappropriate title of pi/ijm<CHx" 

 which is the larger of the two ! Score one for my Lord !
