* Bangs and Phillips (Bull. Mus. Comji. Zool. Iviii., p. 283, 1914,) have made the 

 type locality of P. brcriroMris " The Eastern Himalayas," but this cannot bo 

 correct. This Minivet was described by Vigors as one of a eolleotion of birds 

 received from the Himalayas and in this collection arc specimens of such purely 

 Western forms as Cardiielis spiiioiden and Picus auriccps. McClelland fully 

 appreciated this when he very properly described the Assam bird and his name 

 of affinis mUst stand whilst the typo locality for krevirostris must be somowhore 

 in the Western Himalayas for wliich reason I designate Mussoorie.
