1877.] ON SOME NEW SPECIES OF BIRDS. 563 



POMATOEHINUS NUCHALIS, Sp. n. 



Pomatorhinus leucogaster, Gould, apud Walden, B. Burma, no. 351. 



Differs from P. olivaceus, Blyth, ex Meetan and Mooleyit (Tenasserim) by the ferruginous 

 of the sides of the neck extending down the flanks, and from P. schisticejps, Hodgs.,=P. leuco- 

 gaster, Gould, by its smaller dimensions, and the absence of pure white central streaks on the 

 lateral ferruginous pectoral feathers. 



This is the race that inhabits Thyetmyo, the Yoma and Karen hills, and Karen-nee. In 

 examples from all these localities the nape is tinged with rufous ; but in Karen-nee individuals 

 the rufous forms a distinct broad demicollar. 



This would appear to be the race identified by Mr. Hume (Str. F. iii. p. 121) as P. schisticeps, 

 Hodgs., a species which cannot be separated from P. leiicogaster, Gould, both described from the 

 Himalayas, the stated dimensions of P. leucogaster scarcely differing from the actual dimensions 

 of the type specimens of P. schisticeps in the British Museum. 



MiXOENIS (■?) CAPITALIS, sp. n. 



? . Forehead, vertex, and occiput rufous, each feather with a pale fulvous central streak. 

 Space before the eyes and lores dull grey. Cheeks, ear-coverts, and sides of neck ashy, each 

 feather with a pale albescent central streak. Nape, back, and wing-coverts the same, the pale 

 striations on the back being very prominent in consequence of the abnormal length of the dorsal 

 plumage. Uropygium and upper tail-coverts olive rusty grey and unstriated. Rectrices brown ; 

 outer pair with the whole outer and apical third of the inner web pale yellowish white ; remaining 

 pairs, middle excepted, broadly tipped on both webs with white, middle pairs slightly tipped with 

 white. AU the quills brown, narrowly margined externally with fulvous grey, the tertiaries with 

 pale rusty. Basal portion of quills margined on their inner webs with white. Chin and throat 

 rufous and rufous-white. Breast, under wing-coverts, abdomen, vent, and under tail-coverts 

 white, faintly tinged with very pale yellow. 



Wing 2*75 inches, tail 2*50, tarsus 0-70, culmen 0-62. 



Described from a single individual obtained in the Philippine island of Dinagat by 

 Mr. Everett. 



Ceiniger everetti, sp. n. 



<3 ? . Above almost golden-yellow brown. Feathers of forehead, vertex, and occiput A. M. N. H. 

 sublanceolate, brown, margined with golden yellow. Lores yellow. Feathers at base of mandible ^^'^p '535^^* 

 and cheeks yellow-tipped. Throat, neck, and upper breast brownish ochreous yellow. Chin, 

 lower breast, abdomen, ventral region, axillaries, under tail- and wing-coverts sulphur-yellow. 

 Inner webs of primaries brown. Exposed surface of all the quills and the wing-coverts like 

 back. Inner margin of inner webs of quills pale yellow. Upper surface of rectrices like that 

 of quiUs. Under surface pale brown, washed with yellow ; inner webs margined with pure yellow. 

 Shafts of quills and rectrices ruddy brown above ; of quiUs underneath yellow at base and brown 

 towards the end ; of rectrices bright yellow throughout.
