 The birds from this part are Grauealus ?ai/ardi, Elyth (ef. Walden, Ibis, 

 1873, p. 310); but although birds from Darjiling do show some 

 differences from Madras examples, those from North-western India 

 are intermediate, and I am unable to define specific characters. 



Hab. India and Ceylon, ranging into the Burmese countries.
