304 Dr. T. C. Jerdou's Supplementary Notes 



414. Garrulax ocellatus. 



Captain Bulger mentions the fine, clear, and mellow notes of 

 this bird, which I had previously recorded, and says they 

 sounded to him like "away, away, aivee," whistled in rapid 

 succession. The birds not only (he says) answered one an- 

 other, but they replied readily to the imitation of this call. 



415. Trochalopteron erythrocephalum. 



The outer wehs of all the wing-feathers are bright greenish 

 yellow, with a rusty tinge, the inner webs being blackish ; the 

 tertiaries are broadly tipped with ashy -, all the tail-feathers have 

 a yellowish green tinge. These remarks by Stoliczka supply a 

 deficiency in my description. Beavan gives the dimensions of 

 one :— Length 10-625, wing 3-75, tail 4-375, extent 10-25, foot 

 1-875. The irides are greyish brown ; the legs fleshy pink; the 

 bill horny brown. 



Hodgson figures the egg as green spotted like that of Turdus 

 musicus. All the other species of this group from the Himalayas 

 have the egg unspotted, except (if my information was correct) 

 T, phceniceum, which was blue, with a few dusky wavy streaks. 

 The Neilgherry species, however {T. cackinnans) , has the egg 

 well spotted. 



416. Trochalopteron chrysopterum. 



The greater coverts of the secondaries are also chestnut; and 

 the rufous of the breast gradually changes to olivaceous on the 

 belly. One measured in the flesh 10^ inches in length, wing 

 3^, tail 4|-, extent llf, tarsus If, foot 2fV' 



417. Trochalopteron subunicolor. 

 Hodgson figures the eggs as green.

 Austen, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, p. 105. 



Description. — Head, nape, and sides of the neck rich rusty 

 brown, each feather with a paler shaft ; back and uropygium 

 olive-brown, tinged with the colouring of the head, but devoid 

 of pale shafts ; middle pair of rectrices and outer edges of quills 

 above deep rich ferruginous; remaining rectrices dark brown, 

 tipped with pure white, the central pairs more or less edged with
