thighs, and uudcr tail-coverts dark olive-brown, with a slight wash 

 of rufous on the latter and on the abdomen ; under wing-coverts 

 and axillaries also dark olive-brown ; " bill black ; legs plumbeous ; 

 iris red-brown, or brownish yellow in some " {Jerdon). Total 

 length 11 inches, ciilmen V2, wing 5"lo, tail 5-3, tarsus 1'8. 



Young. Ilcjiroduces the colour of the adult, but is more rufous- 

 brown on the back and underparts, the rufous breast very slightly 

 indicated, all the feathers being white at their bases. The general 

 appearauce of the young bird is very fluffy. 



Ohs. I notice that Mr. Oates does not give Pegu as a locality for 

 the present species in his ' Birds of British Bunuah ; ' but Mr. Blan- 

 ford's specimen from Bnssein is certainly this species and not 

 G. hclanr/eri. Both the Begu specimen and the Aracan bird arc not 

 quite typical, however, having the rufous on the hind neck and sides 

 of tlie neck much broader and more pronounced.
