This bird corresponds as closely as possible with what is stated 



to be the female of the Turd. cyaneus, and may by analogy be 



supposed to be the female of Petrocincla Pandoo ; but it in- 



habits only the prickly milk-bushes (Euphorbia tortilis and pen- 



tagona) of the rocky plains of the Dukhun. Colonel Sykes 



never'saw it in the Ghauts, nor in company with Petr. Pandoo.
