Megal^ma eamsayi, n. sp. 



The broad superciliary stripe composed of silvery-grey-centred feathers, giving a streaked 

 appearance to the supercilium. Otherwise plumage and dimensions oi M. fmuMini. 



I have compared a large series of typical examples of M. frankUni from Darjeelino- and 

 Asalu with a considerable series of this form obtained by Lieutenant Wardlaw Ramsay, at 

 altitudes varying from 2000 to 4000 feet, in the Kareu-uee hills. That gentleman records the 

 iris as being " nut-brown ; bill black, basal portion of maxilla and lower part of mandible slate- 

 colour ; legs dirty greenish white." Sexes alike.
