" Dr. T. C. Jerdon's Supplementary Notes 



Godwin-Austen t. It has not hitherto been recorded from 

 further north than Arakan. He gives the dimensions as fol- 

 lows : — Length 3 feet 2 inches, wing 18| inches, extent 5 feet 

 2 inches, tail 12 inches, bill 65, depth of bill 3*. 



146 ter. Buceros ? 



"Anorhinus galeritus, Temra.," apud Godwin-Austen, J. A. S. 

 1870, p. 96, was so provisionally named by myself from its 

 supposed resemblance to Blyth's carinatus, no books of reference 

 being at hand. Mr. G. R. Gray was inclined to consider it per- 

 haps the young oi Rhinoplax scutatus, Bodd., galeatus, Gm.; but 

 on examining the specimen again, and comparing it with the 

 figure of scutatus, I am now inclined to consider it new, and shall 

 give it the name of its discoverer, Anorhinus austeni. Its 

 nearest ally is B. tickelli of Tenasserim ; but it differs conspicu- 

 ously from that by its white-tipped tail-feathers, and other points. 



149. PaLvEGRNIS ROSA. 



Blyth has shown that the Burmese race is distinguishable 

 from that of India, the former race having the inner side of the 

 wing entirely green, whilst the Indian bird has some blue there, 

 and the bright colouring of the nape of the male is much more 

 abruptly defined. Edwards's bird is the Burmese one, which 

 will stand as P. bengalensis. Mr. Blyth tells me that examples 

 of both species occur in Hodgson's collection. 



150. Pal^ornis schisticeps. 



Abundant throughout the whole of the N.W. Himalayas, up 

 to above 10,000 feet in summer. It breeds at Mussooree, 

 Simla, in Kumaon, &c. 



154. Picus himalayanus. 



In the description, I should have said that the four central 

 tail-feathers were unspotted black. It is P. assimilis, Natterer, 

 apud Malherbe, and is extremely common on the N.W. Hima- 

 layas, from Kumaon to Kashmir, generally at from 8000 to 

 10,000 feet elevation. One killed in Kashmir was 9| inches 

 long, extent 16, w^ing 5|, tail 3g, foot 2g. 



• The Aceros 146 h of Godwin- Austen's list is the male of this bird ; 

 and the one noted under the name plicatus is the female.
