All of these specimens are true maculatus, and here again it 

 is doubtful whether the differences between maculatus and trivialis 

 are not more than sub-specific. Both birds breed in the Himalayas 

 it is said, though it is not beyond doubt that trivialis does so.

This bird, a male in full plumage, agrees well with Oates* 

 andersoni, but one would not expect this Sunbird, since suppressed, 

 to appear in this region, his birds having been obtained in Bhamo. 

 The specimen obtained is in a very battered condition, but a good 

 series might well prove interesting ; the wing is only about 2"i".
