TIMELIID^. 



The type of T rocTialopterum simile of Hume is in the British 

 Museum, and differs in having the outer aspect of the wings and 

 tail ashy grey instead of golden olive. At first sight this seems to 

 be a good specific distinction ; but on examining a series it is found 

 that both golden-winged and grey-winged birds are found inhabit- 

 ing the same locality, and on some of the golden-winged birds a 

 shade of grey is apparent, as if the golden passed into the latter colour. 

 Mr. Hume (Str. P. 1878, vol. ii. p. 457), however, maintains the 

 specific distinctness of the two forms, and says that " at their head 

 quarters each is perfectly true to type without any admixture of 

 the other ; and these their head-quarters are widely separated."
