 blackish, more ashy along the inner edge. Total length 8*3 inches,

The adult males vary in the depth of colour on the hind neck and 

 lower back and rump, which is much more orange in some than in 

 others, the richly tinted birds being no doubt the older ones. 



A young male in the Hume collection, procured by Mr. Mandclli 

 in Aug. 1S73, has the head more sooty black, the hind neck paler 

 orange-yellow, much less yellow in the centre of the back, the feathers 

 of which part have narrow yellow fringes ; otherwise the rest of the 

 upper surface is black and yellow, as in the fully adult bird. Under- 

 neath the colour is dull saffron-yellow, the sides of the face being 

 brown as well as the throat, mixed with black. 



Hah. Eastern Himalayas and adjoining portions of Thibet, ranging 

 into Moupin in Western China. Capt. Pinwill's collection contains 

 several examples from the North-western Himalayas, and one speci- 

 men is marked from " Dhurmsala," but we are not aware cf any 

 other naturalist having found it in the north-west.
