Tue WHITE-WINGED GROUND THRUSH. 
Length, 7'5 to 8°5 ; expanse, 12:25 to 14; wing, 42 to 4°5; tail, 
2:75 to 8; tarsus, 1°25 to 1°5 ; bill at front, 0°7; bill from gape, l. 
Bill blackish; irides dark-brown ; legs fleshy-brown. 
Head, nape, hind-neck, and sides of neck, ferruginous ; the rest 
of the plumage above dull-cyaneous or leaden ; wings and tail 
dusky, the former with a white spot on the median wing-coverts, 
and the outer feathers of the tail also tipped with white ; lores 
white ; ear-coverts white in the centre, continued down the sides of 
the neck, and with a brown spot above and below the latter passing 
into ferruginous, and bordering the white of the ears; beneath, 
the chin, throat, and neck, white ; the breast, abdomen, and flanks, 
bright-ferruginous ; and the vent and under tail-coverts white. 
The colors of the female are less pure than those of the male. 
The White-winged Ground Thrush only occurs within our limits 
on the Sahyadri Range and im the adjoining forests, as far north 
at least as Khandalla. 
It isa permanent resident, but owing to the bird’s crepuscular 
habits, it often escapes observation.

THE ORANGE-HEADED GROUND THRUSH. __ 
Length, 812 to 9; expanse, 13:75 to 15; tail, 2°% to 3°25 ; 
wing, 4°4 to 4°82; tarsus, 1°2 to 1:35; bill from gape, 1:05 to 1:2. 
Bill horny-black, fleshy-white at base beneath ; irides dark- 
brown ; nude patch behind eye, flesh-colored ; legs fleshy-white. 
The whole head, neck, and lower plumage, pale brownish-orange ; 
the chin and throat paling and albescent; the rest of the upper 
plumage blue-grey; a small white wing spot on the median- 
coverts, and the primary-coverts tipped black ; lower part of abdo- 
men paling towards the vent, which, with the lower tail-coverts, 
is white. 
The female differs slightly, being tinged with olivaceous on the 
back, wings and tail. 
The occurrence of the Orange-headed Ground Thrush within 
our limits is very doubtful; if it occurs at all, it can only be 
as a very rare winter visitant. ,
