A somewhat Immature Male— Differs from G. cuvici'i in having 

 the white lines on the black feathers of the upper-parts, 

 especially the mantle, coarser and more regular, and running 

 more or less parallel to the margins of the feathers. The 

 plumage, in fact, is not unlike that of G. andersoni^ but the 

 white lines are narrower and the black interspaces broader 

 than in the latter. 



Range. — Kachin Hills, east of Bhamo. 



Only one male example of this form is known, and the 

 female has still to be obtained, but will probably be found 

 to be intermediate in plumage between G. horsfieldi and 

 G. andersoiii^ with the white shaft-stripes on the breast-feathers 

 rather wide, and the outer tail more or less barred with 

 white.
