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



sex*. Stoliczka remarked some females from Lalioul that had the 

 outer webs of the quills only ashy grey tinged with yellow ; whilst 

 some males have the outer edges of the wings and tail-feathers 

 bright rufous ; moreover, some are more olivaceous on the back, 

 others more ashy. Those I got at Gulmerg, in Kashmir, have the 

 wings and tail pure grey, without any orange. Dimensions of 

 one measured in the flesh were: — length 11 inches, extent 13, 

 wing 4g, tail 5|, tarsus li, bill from front |. Irides yellow 

 green ; legs dark yellow ; bill black. 



419. Trochalopteron affine. 



One measured in the flesh was 10| inches long, extent \2\, 

 wing 4, tail 4|, foot 2^. 



420. Trochalopteron squamatum. 



The reference to Blyth^s ' Catalogue ' should be 490. 



421. Trochalopteron rufogulare. 



The reference to Blyth^s ' Catalogue ' here is erroneous ; it 

 should be 489. The quills have the outer webs greyish olive at 

 their base, then black (from the third primary) in an oblique line 

 increasing in width towards the tip ; the secondaries are black- 

 tipped ; and the last two or three primaries have a faint white 

 edging on their outer webs, as have the secondaries also. Length 

 of one in the flesh 9f inches, extent 11, wing 3|, tail 4, tarsus 

 1|, foot 2^. 



423. Trochalopteron cachinnans. 



The chin is black, not white (as is, by some mistake, stated in 

 the text). 



424. Trochalopteron jerdoni. 



In this species also, the chin is black.

* These remarks appear to be well founded ; but if there are grounds 

 for establishing two species, there are none for making three. Cinchsoma 

 variegatum, Vigors, was described fi-om an example with gi-ey wings ; 

 therefore the title T. simile, Hume, must be suppressed. — W,
