Obs Althouo-h the typical specimens of D. inornatum are in worn 

 and abraded plumage, I do not think there is any question respecting 

 the identity of Diccmm ollvaceum of Walden with the ^epai bird. 1 

 have compared the types of the two species. I ^^^^ ^1^° n° ^oubt 

 that the supposed mule of Myzanthe icjnipecius, killed by Dr. Scully 

 in the Presidency Grounds in Nepal on the 3rd of July, which 

 puzzled him so much as to its identity, was really a bird ot the 



^^S I'rom Nepal and the Eastern Himalayas, throughout the 

 Burmese and Tenasserim hills, and reoccurring in Sumatra.
