528 Capt. Beavan on the Avifauna 



C. macrurus and Copsychus saularis ! In several specimens of 

 it, however, I can detect no variation whatever. * * * I have 

 a fine healthy pair alive, and the male is a fair songster, with 

 some very deep notes, alternating with some shrill and very 

 Dhayal-like {Copsjjchus) notes; and, so far as I have heard as 

 yet, the song is more broken or delivered in snatches, like that 

 of the Dhgyal, or less continuous than in the common Shahma. 

 * * H< The female is of a duller colour than the male, especially 

 on the wings and breast, which latter is glossless black ; tail also 

 shorter, and the legs in both sexes carneous." 



56. Pratincola indica, Blyth. 



The Indian Bush-Chat "is not uncommon " (R. C. T.). 



57. Arundinax olivaceus, Blyth. Thick-billed Ueed- 

 Warbler. 



Recorded by Mr. Blyth. 



58. MOTACILLA LUZONIENSIS, Scopoli. 



The White-faced Wagtail of India is common in the cold 

 season. 



59. BuDYTES ciTREOLA (Pallas). 



The Yellow-headed Wagtail has been observed by Col. Tytler 

 on Aberdeen Point. 



60. Anthus cervinus (Pallas)*. The Vinous-throated 

 Pipit. 



According to Mr. Blyth, specimens agree with those from 

 Pegu and China ; but this species has not hitherto come under 

 Col. Tytler's observation. 



61. ZosTEROPS PALPEBROSUS, Tcmm. 



The White-eyed Tit had previously been procured from the 

 Nicobars ; one specimen was shot on Aberdeen Point and 

 brought to Col. Tytler, so that probably it is not uncommon. 



63. CoRvus ANDAMANENSis, Tytlcrf. 



The Andaman Crow is quite distinct, according to Col. Tytler,
