Fairly eommou on Kao Nawng, this being the most northei'ly 

 locality recorded for the species. A ground bird having very much 

 the habits of a Pitta. An adult female and three very young birds 

 were procured. Very young birds are uniform sooty black beneath, 

 except the throat ^vhich is white, but the chestnut rufous of the adult 

 soon begins to make its appearance.

A pair from 3,500 feet on Kao Nawng, agree very closely with 

 specimens from the typical locality except that the crown is very 

 slightly paler, therein showing an approach to T. melanostujma which 

 ranges south to Muleyit Mt. and the Salwin river.
