377. Chleuasicus ruficeps, Blyth; " Paradoxornis sphe- 

 nura, Hodgson," G. R. Gray, Cat. B. Nepal, 2nd edit. p. 60. 



382. Grammatoptila striata. 



This bird builds a compact Jay-like nest ; the eggs are spot- 

 less blue, as shown by one of Mr. Hodgson^s drawings in the 

 British Museum. 



384. Gampsorhynchus rufulus. 



The range of this species extends to the Tenasserim provinces 

 (J. A. S. B. xxviii. p. 416). 



385. Pyctorhis sinensis (Gmel.) ; Timalia hypoleuca, 

 Frankl.; Mag. de Zool. 1835, pi. 39 [figura mala). 



386. Pyctorhis longirostris {of. Appendix, p. 872). 

 Most probably this bird is the Megalurus (?) verreauxi of 



Colonel Tytler (Ann. Mag. N. H. 1854, xiv. p. 176). 



387. Trichostoma abbotti. 



This differs very little — in the shade of colouring only — from 

 Brackyptei^yx sepiaria, Horsfield, which is identical with Malaco-
