The specimen described is a Muddapore skin of Mr. Brooks's, 

 obtained in January. One procured near Diuapore by the same 

 gentleman, in March, is in full moult ; but the breeding-plumage 

 which is being donned does not seem to differ materially from the 

 winter dress, beyond being rather richer sandy rufous on the breast 

 and sides of the body. 



Hah. Throughout India and Ceylon, occurring as far west as 

 Scindc, and has been met with in the Burmese countries, as well 

 as the Andaman Islands.
