An immature bird of this sent. I have an adult from 

 Karatschatka, presented to me by Dr. V. Schrcnk, of St.

. The specimen now sent is a female, and like the one which 

 I received before, and noted in my former list under " No. 68.

 Dresser's collection, and from the Woolwich Museum, pro-

 [op. cit. ii. pp. 467-484). In the province of Tonghoo, and 

 in the country of the Karens, Lieutenant Wardlaw Ramsay, 

 after working the vicinity of Rangoon, has, for some time
