510 Mr. W. U. Ogilvie Graut on the 



rump^ belly, tail-covertSj and tail_, wMcli are dark chestnut, 

 the thighs slate-grey, and the quills, which are brownish 

 black. Total length 6*3 inches, wing 3*0, tail 2"4, tarsus 1"0, 

 culmen 0'6. 



The tail is rounded and composed of twelve feathers. The 

 5th primary is slightly longer than the 3rd and 4th, and 

 considerably longer tlian the 6th, and the 1st is about half 

 the length of the 2nd. 



The only other member of the genus is the White-capped 

 Redstart (C lencocephalus) from the Himalayas and Burma. 

 In this bird the sexes are alike, and, as it is important to 

 know more about the present species in this respect, I trust 

 before long Mr. Whitehead will settle this question by 

 obtaining more examples of both sexes.

This form appears to me barely separable from the Indian 

 bird P. coronatus. It would be extremely difficult to deter- 

 mine a specimen without first knowing the locality whence 

 it was obtained.

36. ZOSTERORNIS WHITEHEADI. (Plate XV. fig. 1.) 



Zosterornis whiteheadi, Grant, Bull. B. O. C. iii. p. 1 

 (1894). 



This genus is most nearly allied to Cyanoderma, but there 

 is no naked space round the eyes, which, on the contrary, 

 are encircled by a ring of short white feathers perfectly 

 similar to that of a true Zosterops. Prom Mixornis it differs 

 in having the nostrils long and covered by a large membrane„ 

 The tail is composed of twelve feathers. The 5th primary is 

 slightly longer than the 4th and 6th; 1st short, half the 

 length of the 2nd.
