Coloration. Upper plumage bright orange-brown ; a broad black 

 supercilium extending to the nape and a narrow white line below it ; 

 lores, cheeks, and under the eye white ; ear-coverts and sides of 

 the neck slaty-blue ; a streak of fulvous behind the eye and over 

 the front part of the ear-coverts ; chin and throat black ; lower 

 plumage bluish grey, becoming whitish on the abdomen and under 

 tail-coverts; primary-coverts black; primaries with hoary outer webs 

 tinged with chestnut at base, the other quills chiefly chestnut on the 

 outer webs and tipped white ; tail chestnut, broadly tipped blackish.

This species was not known to Jerdon. He was under the 

 impression that the Nepal and Cherra Poonjee birds were identical, 

 but under the name of S.poliotis he described the true S. nepalensis 

 only. The two birds are of course very distinct and cannot be 

 confounded together. 



Distribution. Blyth described this species from a specimen pro- 

 cured at Cherra Poonjee, and my description is taken from two 

 birds obtained by Godwin -Austen at Samina in the Eastern Naga 

 hills. The species does not appear, as yet, to have been discovered 

 in any other part of the Empire *.

* As this was going to press Count Salvador! kindly sent me a specimen of 

 a Suthora from Karennee for examination. It has the abdomen and under 

 tail-coverts rather bright fulvous, but I cannot discover that it differs from 

 S. poliotis in any other respect. In justice, however, to Count Sahadori, who 

 has named this species S. fees, I am bound to say that the two specimens of 

 8. poliotis in the British Museum, the only two specimens available for com- 

 parison, are by no means good skins, and the various minute mai'kings on the 

 head are not very clear. 8. fece may therefore be an excellent species. Count 

 Salvador! thus describes it:
