.shaft-stripes, instead of black, or black streaked with white, and tail 

 rather narrowly tipped with ashy, whereas in G. pectoralis it is broadly 

 tipped with white. 



" Hab. Rangit River, Sikhim, 4000 feet." 



Both Mr. Gates and I feel doubtful about this species. It is founded 

 on a single specimen obtained by Dr. Waddell, and, taking into considera- 

 tion the liability of G. pectoralis to variation and the great improbability 

 of a new species belonging to so noisy and conspicuous a genus being 

 found in Sikhim, we think the type of G. waddelli may possibly be an 

 abnormal individual or "sport" of G. pectoralis. 



Vol. I, p. 110. Genus Crateropus. CEATEROPUS LARVATUS, sp. nov., 

 Hartert, Jour.f. Orn. 1890, p. 154. 



( Translation of Latin description.) Lores, upper chin, subocular and 

 malar spots blackish-smoky. Colour generally of Crateropus canorus. 

 Bill slender, like that of Aryya malcolmi ; bill and feet olive-brown. 

 Wing 4 inches, tail (almost destroyed) 4*1, tarsus 1-4, culmen *87. Hab. 

 " Madras, India." 



The locality does not appear to be thoroughly authenticated, and is 

 now regarded by Mr. Hartert as doubtful : the species much resembles 

 ;some African forms and is possibly of African origin. 



Vol. I, p. 125. Genus Pomatorhinus. Add the following species : 

 129 . Pomatorhinus imberbis. 



Pomatorhinus imberbis, Salvadori, Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. (2) vii, p. 410 

 (1889) ; Oates, Jour. Bom. N. H. Soc. x, p. 110. 



(Translation of Latin description.) Similar to P. erythrogenys, but 

 rather smaller, and differing in the paler rusty-red on the sides of the 

 head, neck, breast, and abdomen, and on the lower tail-coverts ; feathers 

 at the base of the mandible not white but rusty; no black on the mous- 

 tachial stripe. 



Length 9'25 ; tail 3'4 ; wing 3'4 ; tarsus 1'45 ; culmen T2. 



Distribution. Ruby Mines, Upper Burma ; Karennee ; Tenasserim. 



Vol. I, p. 171. The generic name Sittiparus having been previously used 

 (see Ibis, 1890, p. 255), Oates proposes Pseudominla in its*place. 

 Ibis, 1894, p. 480. 



Vol. I, p. 173. No. 183. Proparus vinipectus. Omit the locality Japvo 

 peak, Burraii range, and add the following species : 



183 a. Proparus austeni. Austen's Tit-Babbler. 



Proparus austeni, Oyilvie Grant, Bull. B. O. C. v, p. iii (1895) ; id.

Coloration. " Crown and occiput pale chocolate-brown washed with 

 rufous, the latter margined along the sides by bands of deep chocolate, 

 beneath which run the white eyebrow stripes, which commence above the 

 middle of the eye and are continued backward to the sides of the nape. 

 Lores and ear-coverts deep vinous brown ; mantle much like the crown, 

 but less rufescent and shading into ferruginous on the lower back, rump, 

 and wing-coverts ; the outer primaries edged with hoary grey, the next 

 few mostly black on the outer web, and the remaining quills with the 

 outer webs ferruginous. Chin and throat white ; feathers of the lower 

 throat ivith reddish-brown spots at the extremity of the shaft ; chest and 

 upper breast uniform vinous buff", shading into fulvous on the abdomen,
