23. TACCOCUA.

is darker aud strongly shaded with rufous, cspeeiall}- on the crown. 

 The specimen fully described above is also from Simla. A Saugor 

 specimen is equally dark, but greyer, with no rufous or buff shade ; 

 one from Kandala is very slightly darker both above and below. 

 Specimens from the Ehotan Dooars are very similar to the last, but 

 still slightly darker beneath. A female bird from Ceylon (July) 

 agrees perfectly in the shade of the upper parts with the Kandala 

 and lihotan Dooars specimens, and is not darker on the breast than 

 individuals from the Punjab, Simla, and Bhotan Dooars. I therefore 

 can only recognize one species of Taccocua, admitting that it varies 

 very slightly in shade of colouring, probably according to the amount 

 of rainfall of the district which it inhabits. 

 Hah. The same as that of the genus.
