 young of no. 194, Brachypteryx rufiventris (Callene rufiventrix of 

 Jerdon), is spotted. Mr. Gates (Asian, September 30th, 1892) 

 remarks that the bird and its ally B. albiventris must in that case 

 be referred to the Ruticillirux amongst the Turdidce. 



Vol. I, p. 190. It is stated by Mr. Carter (Asian, July 21st, 1893) that

 tert, Kat. Vog. Sauck. Mus. p. 21 (1891), N.W. India. This is 

 the rather paler form of Lioptila capistrata inhabiting the N.W. 

 Himalayas, and is, I think, the typical race originally described by 

 Vigors. Many birds from the drier north-western parts of India 

 are" paler coloured than those from damper regions with denser 

 forests.
