distinguenda. Long, tota 5 - 7, culminis 0'5, aloz 3*1, caitdce 2 - 8, 

 frim 0.7. 



General colour above olive-yellowish, the wing-coverts like the 

 "back ; quills and tail dull blackish brown, externally washed with 

 olive-yellow like the back, the greater coverts also brown washed 

 with olive-yellow ; tail-feathers paler brown at the tip of the inner 

 web ; head crested, black, as also the sides of the face, ear-coverts, 

 and cheeks ; entire under surface of body yellow, slightly more 

 olive-green on the sides ; under wing-coverts yellow, the longer ones 

 white washed with yellow ; quills sepia-brown below, white along 

 the edge of the inner webs. 



This species is almost exactly the same as Rubigula atricapilla of 

 Cevlon, but has not the white tips to the tail-feathers, while its long 

 crest distinguishes it from the Ceylonese species, which is not 

 crested. In the form of the crest and in general appearance it is 

 almost precisely similar to E. flaviventris of Pegu and Tenasserim, 

 but is smaller, and has the throat yellow like the rest of the under 

 surface. The single specimen obtained was in Mr. Treacher's 

 -collection. 



14. Ckiniger ruficrissus, sp. n. 



C. similis C. gutturali, sed supra ubique sordidior, supracaudalibus 

 caudaque saturate rufescenti-brunneis ; loris et regione oculari 

 cum genis et regione parotica sordide cinereis, gula alba, corpore 

 reliquo subtus sordide olivascente, sub caudalibus castanets. Long, 

 tot. 8, culm. - 85, aim 4 # 0, caud<c 4 - 0, tarsi 07. 



This species is not very different from C. gutturalis, but differs in 

 its much darker coloration, especially on its under surface, which is 

 dull olivaceous, with a white throat and chestnut-red under tail- 

 coverts. There is an entire absence of the pale-brown colour of the 

 breast washed with yellow, and of the light yellow abdomen and 

 pale fawn-coloured under tail-coverts. The crest is very long in 

 < '. ruficrissus, and extends nearly to the mantle. 



15. Ianthocixcla treacheri, sp. n. 



I. similis I. mitrata: (S. Mull.), ex Sumatra, sed genis, mento et 

 regione parotica sicut caput castaneis facile distinguenda. Long. 

 tota 10, culminis 0*85, alec 415, Cauda 4 - 5, tarsi T5. 



Adult. General colour above dark ashy grey, with a very slight 

 shade of ochraceous under certain lights ; the wing-coverts slightly 

 more bluish grey than the hack : quills blackish, externally bluish
