lu 'The Ibis/ 1893, p. 470, I described, under this 

 name, two birds from Ichang which appeared to diifer from 

 D. if/nipectus. An examinatio'i of a long series of Indian 

 skins of the latter shows that one or two approach very 

 closely in the colour of the upper parts to the Ichang birds. 

 I am hoping to obtain more specimens from Western China 

 to prove the validity or otherwise of the species.
