Capt. Beavan on various Indian Birds. 317 



A specimen in the Hesh killed by me at Zvvagabeu on the 20th 

 of October, 1865, measured as follows: — Length 18"75; wing 

 6j tail 12-5; bill from front 1-125; tarsus '9375 in. This 

 species is essentially a forest-lover, frequenting wild and out-of- 

 the-way spots, and it is but rarely seen in the vicinity of Karen 

 villages. The irides are dark-brown, the bill black, the legs 

 black with brown sides. I am in doubt whether lengthened 

 rectrices are not wanting in the female. 



288. TcHiTREA PARADisi. Paradise-Flycatchcr. 



Since the time mentioned in my former note (Ibis, 1865, 

 p. 420) I have observed several examples in the chestnut plu- 

 mage in the trees which line the main road between Umballah 

 and Kalka, in March 1866; and Dr. Scott told me that he had 

 occasionally seen specimens in the immediate neighbourhood of 

 Umballah itself. I procured specimens at Simla, and have fre- 

 quently seen skins sent in to that station from Kotegurh, a dis- 

 tance of tifty miles further in the interior ; so that it is probable 

 that it extends for some distance in the low valleys towards the 

 snowy range. The extreme length of this bird to the end of 

 the middle or longest tail-feathers is from about 20 to 24 inches. 



290. Myiagra azurea. Black-naped Blue Flycatcher. 



A female specimen procured by me at Moulmein, 16th of 

 September, 1865, had the following dimensions : — Length 6*25 ; 

 wing 2*625 ; tail 2*75 ; tarsus -625 ; bill from front 'S ; ex- 

 tent 7"75 in. The irides of a very deep reddish-brown, the 

 bill dark-bluish horny, and legs bluish-plumbeous*. 



291. Leucocerca fuscoventris. White-throated Fantail. 

 Not uncommon about Umballah in October and November, 



1866, my first specimen being procured there on the 29th of 

 October. 



292. LErcocERCA ALBOFRONTATAf. Whitc-browed Fantail. 

 Also procured by me at Umballah, at the same time as the 



preceding, my first specimen being killed on the 30th of Octo- 

 ber, 1866 ; but it was apparently not so commonly distributed. 



* Dr. .Terdon, in his description of this species, makes two statements in 

 the same line as to the colour of its legs ; the latter is correct.
