293. Leucocerca leucogaster (Cuvier) ; " Muscicapa leu- 

 cogaster, Cuvier," Puclieran ; L. pectoralis, Jerdon ; Rhipidura 

 fuscoventris, Sykes, as noticed in Dr. Jerdon's Appendix. 



294. Chelidorhynx hypoxantha. 



The nest and eggs are figured in one of Mr. Hodgson's 

 drawings in the British Museum, — the former as in the Leuco- 

 cerca ; the latter white, faintly speckled. 



295. Cryptolopha cinereocapilla. 



Young figured by Mr. Hodgson with mottled plumage (!), 

 dusky above with pale spots, below dull whitish, the head tinged 

 with ferruginous. 



296. Hemichelidon fuliginosa. 



Col. Tytler mentions having obtained three specimens of this 

 bird in the neighbourhood of Barrackpore, near Calcutta (Ann. 

 Mag. N. H. 1854, xiii. p. 371). The egg is figured by Mr. 

 Hodgson pale greenish, with faint rufous specks. 



299. Alseonax ferrugineus. 



Nest and eggs figured by Mr. Hodgson, — the former much as 

 in the British Butalis grisola, the latter pure buff colour and 

 unspotted. 



301. EUMYIAS melanops. 



Mr. Hodgson figures the egg unspotted pinkish-white. 



305. Cygrnis jerdoni, G. R. Gray. 



The Malayan and Philippine race (C. banyumas, Horsf. ; 

 PI. Col. 226) is deeper-coloured than the Indian, having the 

 lores, cheeks, and chin blackish (instead of distinctly blue), 

 while the blue of the upper parts and ferruginous of the lower 

 parts are likewise more intense. The same slight difference 

 distinguishes the Malayan C elegans (PI. Col. 596. f. 1) from 

 the Indian and Tenasserim C. rubeculoides. Mr. Wallace, how- 

 ever, has a specimen of true C. jerdoni from Pinang. Mr. 

 Swinhoe describes a beautiful allied species from Formosa, C 

 vivida (Ibis, 1864, p. 363). [Vide infra, PI. XL] 



308. Cygrnis magnirostris. 



The male of this fine species is figured in one of Mr. Hodgson's 

 drawings. It is much like that of C rubeculoides, but of a
