Most nearly allied to C.fortipes (Hodgs.), and resembles 

 that species in having the upper plumage tinged witli rufous. 

 The throat, fore-neck, middle of the chest and breast nearly 

 white; axillaries and under wing-coverts white, with the 

 faintest tinge of yellow ; sides, flanks, and vent snuff-brown ; 

 no tinge of fulvous on the middle of the belly ; fifth and 

 sixth primaries longest, slightly longer than the fourth and 

 seventh.

[Three examples sent as P. occipitalis are certainly refer- 

 able to the above-named species (= Phyllopneuste reguloides 

 Blyth) . They have the upper parts of the darker green charac- 

 teristic of P. trochiloides, the hinder part of the crown and 

 nape darker, and the wing shorter (2'25-2"35 in.) . In all three 

 the second primary is exactly equal to the eighth. According 

 to Gates (see ' Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds,' i. p. 418), P. occipi- 

 talis has the second primary usually intermediate in length 

 between the seventh and eighth, while in P. trochiloides it is 

 intermediate between the eighth and ninth or the ninth and 

 tenth, or even equal to the first secondary. This character 

 alone cannot be relied on to distinguish the two forms. —
