Adult male. Like tbe male of P. magnirostris, but tbe bill 

 generally not so deep and strong ; deptb of tbe upper mandible at 

 cere 0*85. 



Adult female. Differs from tbe male, wanting tbe black man- 

 dibular stripes and tbe rose collar. 



Hah. Indo-Burmese B.egion, from Sikkim to Tenasserim, and 

 eastwards as far as Cambodia. 



This is a species " far exceeding tbe Cingbalese P. eupatria 

 in size, is wanting tbe glaucous grey-blue tinge on tbe nape and 

 sides of head of true P. nipalensis, and is wanting the huge bill of 

 P. magnirostris" (Hume) ; but still it cannot always be readily dis- 

 tinguished from P. nepalensis, especially as two forms have been 

 merged by Hume in P. indobiirmaniea, one of which, tbe northern 

 ono from Sikkim and also from Bootan, has the mandibular stripes 

 broader than in the Burmese form, and the yellow tinge at the base 

 of tbe throat, also on the breast, is absent or nearly so, while in 

 some specimens of the southern form from Burma it is almost as 

 bright as in P. magnirostris.

* I have not been able to find Blytb's original reference, which is not in 

 vol. xxviii. for 1859 of the ' Journal of the Asiatic Societ] of Bengal,' as quoted 

 by Dr. Finsch. The only allusion to this name whioh I bave been able to 

 find \* that by Schlcgol ; and if it could be shown that T51ylh ever published the 

 name with a description, it would have priority over Paitsornis 

 burmanica, Hume.
