228. iExHOPYGA IGNICAUDA. 



Figured by Gould, 'B. of Asia,' pt. ii. pi. 8. 



229. iExHOi'YGA NIPALENSIS. 



Figured by Gould, I.e. pt. ii. pi. 11. 



231. iExHOPYGA SATURATA. 



Figured by Gould, I. c. pt. xix. pi. 7. 



The yellow band on the rump is well marked in fresh speci- 

 mens — not merely a "faint trace,'' as I stated from a specimen 

 not well stuffed. The green of the lower parts is lighter and 

 more yellowish than that of the upper plumage, and becomes 

 yellow rather than "flavescent" on the under tail-coverts. The 

 tail, too, is distinctly wedge-shaped, the outer tail-feathers dusky, 

 with white tips. 



The length of wing should be 2g, not 2-g- as misprinted. 



232. Leptocoma zeylonica. 



Figured by Gould, *B. Asia,' pt. xix. pi. 4. 



233Z>?S. ChaLCOPARIA CINGALENSIS. 



I obtained one specimen of this Honeysucker at the foot of 

 the Teria Ghat of the Khasia hdls, the most northern locality 

 hitherto recorded. It is common further south in Tipperah. 

 Godwin-Austen records my specimen in his list. Length 4x% 

 inches, wing 2x0^ o> tail lyV, bill at front i. 



Mr. Hume has also obtained the lovely Leptocoma hasselti 

 from Tipperah. 



234. Arachnechthra asiatica. 



This bird now stands as 



Arachnechthra currucaria, L. 



It is figured by Gould, B. Asia, pt. viii. pi. 2. 



I omitted to mention the narrow pectoral band of maroon 

 dividing the purple of the breast from the purplish black 

 abdomen. 



* Mr. Elwes, however, tells me that he believes, from recollection, 

 that specimens of this Honeysucker were lately procured by Mr. Gommie 

 near llurghee.
