now that its distinctness has been pointed out, other observers 
will supply the necessary information. 
I cannot think, how, in writing the above, I overlooked the 
following remarks by Mr. Blanford, in regard to which, I at 
the time wrote, remarking that the species alluded to, was (as I 
then thought it) IZ, Melanotis : they obviously refer to this new 
species. 
“ Mileus, sp. I shot near Woon, north-west of Chanda, a 
Kite considerably exceeding the common I. Govinda in s1ze, 
but otherwise undistinguishable. It is a male, and measures, 
closed wing, 20; bill from gape, 1:7; tarsus, 2°5 ; tail, 13. 
The bird is evidently young, for the inner portions of the 
feathers are rich brown; but the feathers of the head and neck 
are rich brown with dark centres, not whitish, as usually in a 
young M. Govinda, and the abdomen, and lower tail coverts 
are pale rufous.” This I take to be nearly fully adult.
