some new Species of Birds. 535 



Described from examples obtained by Mr. Everett at Bu- 

 tuan (N. Mindanao). 



PomatorMnus nuchalts, sp. n. 

 Pomatorhimts leucogaster, Gould, apud Walden, B. Burma, no. 351. 



Differs from P. olivaceus, Blyth, ex Meetun and Mooleyit 

 (Tenasserim) by the fen-uginous of the sides of the neck ex- 

 tending down the flanks, and from P. scMsticejos^ Hodgs.,= 

 P. leucogaster, Goukl, by its smaller dimensions, and the 

 absence of pm-e white central streaks on the lateral fen'u- 

 ginous pectoral feathers. 



This is the race that inhabits Thayetmyo, the Yoma and 

 Karen hills, and Karen-nee. In examples from all these 

 localities the nape is tinged with rufous ; but in Karen-nee 

 individuals the rufous forms a distinct broad demicollar. 



This would appear to be the race identified by Mr. Hume 

 (Str. F. iii. p. 121) as P. schisticeps, Hodgs., a species which 

 cannot be separated from P. leucogaster^ Gould, both described 

 from the Himalayas, the stated dimensions of P. leucogaster 

 scarcely differing from the actual dimensions of the type 

 specimens of P. schisticeps in the British Museum.
