3. Garrulax leucolophus leucolophus (Hardw.). 



Blanford, Fauna of British India Birds, i, p. 77. 

 Britisli Museum Catalogue, vii, p. 435. 

 No. 25383. Not sexed. Rtalni, Mishmiland, 2200 ft., i3-ii-i3. 

 A quite typical leucolophus showing no signs of an approach 

 to bclangeri. 



4. Yuhina gularis gularis (Hodg.). 



Blanford, Fauna of BritisJi India, Birds, i, p. 211. 

 British Museum Catalogue, viii, p. 631. 

 No. 25388. ? , Mishmi Hills, 8000 ft., 5-iv-i3. 



On the upper parts this bird is ver}^ close to Y. gularis yang- 

 fiensis (Sharpe), but has not the chestnut tinge on the throat, a 

 character which appears to be always present in yangpiensis. 



5. Oreocincia mollissima (Blyth). "~ 



Blanford, Fauna of British India. Birds, ii, p. 154. 

 British Museum Catalogue, v, p. 157. 

 No. 25386. (J, Mipi, Mishmi Hills, 8500 ft., 9-iii-i3. 



I have recently shown that the form dixoni must be sup- 

 pressed [Bull. B.O.C. clxxxviii, p. 81), as the alleged differences 

 between this and mollissima are not specific but merely individual 

 and are found in a certain number of specimens throughout the 

 whole area inhabited by this bird. The present specimen has 

 boldly marked wings, considerably better marked than most of 

 the birds hitherto called dixoni. 



6. Glaucidium brodici (Burton). 



Blanford, Fautia of British India, Birds, iii, p. 307. 

 British Museum Catalogue, ii, p. 212. 

 No. 25382. $, Etalni, Mishmiland, 2200 ft., i3-ii-i3. 



7. Tinnunculus alaudarius (Gmel.). 



Blanford, Faujia of British India, Birds, iii, p. 428. 

 British Museum Catalogue, i, p. 425. 

 No. 25384. c^, Mipi, Mishmi Hills, 5000 ft., 22-iii-i3. 



This is a rather large specimen for a male and is in very pale 

 abraded plumage, but otherwise is quite typical alaudaritts and 

 agrees closely with birds killed in Great Britain. 



8. Turtur orientalis (Lath.). 



Blanford, Fauna of British India, Birds, iv, p. 40. 

 British Museum Catalogue, xxi, p. '403. 

 No. 25387. (J, Mipi, Mishmi Hills, 8500 ft, 9-iii-i3. 



9. Ithaginis cruentus kuseri (Beebe). 

 No. 25380. c?. Upper Matun Valley, Mishmi Hills, 8000 ft., 28-iii-i3. 

 This most beautiful blood pheasant was recently described 

 by Beebe from two skins in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle de
