We refer this series to B. a. cathaeca, as tliey have the 

 decided bronze tinge given by Swinhoe as one of the charac- 

 ters of his type-series ; they have, however, a shorter wing 

 and a longer tail than indicated by him. From Dr. Hartert's 

 statements the Hainan form must l)e a different race, as he 

 assigns to it a shorter wing and tail than the Indian races 

 (Nov. Zool. xvii. p. 249).
