No. 359 L^ ? . In the forest near Hoedjoeng^ 3000 feet, 

 Jan. 8, 1881. Irides dark red; bill dark scarlet; legs and

This is a very distinct race of the Himalayan C. chmensis. 

 The specimen now sent by Mr. Forbes measures as follows : — 

 Total length 10'3 inches, culmen 1*3_, wing 4"65, tarsus 1-6. 

 These measurements are less than those of the young bird 

 given by Mr. Sharpe in his Catalogue (iii. p. 86), and show 

 that the female will probably turn out to be much smaller 

 than the male.
