(pp. 36, 37) as " N. eduardi, J. Verr. ;" but I must add that 

 it remains, in my opinion, a doubtful species. I am, &c.,

Sir, — In accordance with Signor Salvadori's suggestion 

 [supra, p. 154) I have compared my type-specimen of Megalo- 

 phonus anderssoni (Ibis, 1869, p. 435) with the diagnosis of his 

 M. rufocinnamomeus (Atti Soc. Ital. 1865, p. 578) ; and I find 

 that the two species are widely different in general measurements, 

 relative proportion of tarsi, and coloration. The deep-chestnut 

 cap of my bird, besides its much smaller size, will distinguish 

 them at a glance. 



I have now to describe a new Indian Warbler, lately obtained 

 by Mr. Yeatman in the forest at Pillenbheet in the North-west 

 Provinces, and sent to me by Mr. Brooks. I propose to name 

 it 



Calliope yeatmani, sp. nov. 

 C. supra olivaceo-hrunnea ; front e et linea superciliari albidis ; 

 tectricibus inferioribus pallido-fusco terminatis vittam trans- 

 versam formantibus ; gula mentoque albidis ; pectore fusco ; 

 abdomine et subalaribus albidis ; hypocliondriis et crisso pal- 

 lide russatis ; rostra brunneo, pedibus pallidis. 

 Long tot. 5, alse 2' 75, caud. 2*35, rostri a rict. '65, tarsi 1, 

 dig. med. '75, halluc. "55 poll. angl. 



This species is an exact miniature of C. kamtschatkensis ; but 

 the type-specimen, having been obtained in autumn, wants the 

 beautiful red throat, which, however, may be assumed in breed- 

 ing-plumage. The first primary is 1 inch shorter than the 

 second, which is equal to the seventh ; the third and fourth are 

 the longest. The tarsi and feet are very large and strong, more 

 so relatively than in the other species. 



I remain, &c., 



H. B. Tristram.
