 Cryptolopha affinis (Hodgs.), Sharpe, Cat. B. M. iv, p. 398 (part.). 



Coloration. Sides of the crown broadly black, enclosing a 

 broad medi in band of bluish grey ; a very conspicuous ring 

 round the eye yellow ; lores, cheeks, and lower part of the ear- 

 coverts yellowish green sullied with brown ; the upper part of the 

 ear-coverts and a broad supercilium adjoining the black coronal 

 streak bluish grey; the whole lower plumage bright yellow; 

 the upper plumage olive, and the edges of all the wing-feathers 

 and tail olive-green, the greater coverts tipped yellowish white ; 

 the two outer pairs of tail-feathers largely white on the inner 

 webs. 



Upper mandible brown, lower one yellow ; mouth yellow ; legs 

 yellow ; claws yellowish horn-colour. 



Length about 4-3; tail 1-8; wing 2-2; tarsus '75; bill from 

 gape *65. 



This species differs from C. affinis in having a conspicuously 

 larger bill, a ring of yellow instead of white round the eye, and 

 the sides of the head yellowish instead of bluish grey. 



Distribution. Throughout Pegu, Karennee, and the northern and 

 central portions of Tenasserim, where it is probably a resident 

 species. Blyth records the allied C. burkii from Arrakan, but it 

 is more likely to be the present species which occurs there. It 

 extends into China.
