* I'/ui.fianiis cravftirdi wns described by J. E. Gray from a drawing made 

 by Mr. Crawfurd of a bird obtained at Ava. The description is yery m.'ngre, but 

 might apply, as it most likely does, to the iiouiig male of G. ni/cthfinerus. It 

 caunot possibly apply to any known female of the group, for the wing-coverts 

 are described as white. 



In Gould's 'Birds of Asia' Crawfurd's drawing is erroneouslv reproduced
