Several specimens of this bird received from Assam agree with 
the specific character and description given by Mr. Gould (as above 
cited) in all points excepting the size, being about one-third smaller ; 
but further observations are required to determine with precision the 
points by which the long-tailed A/doli are to be discriminated.

ceed. Zool. Soc. 1836, p. 5. 
_ One of our specimens agrees accurately with Mr. Gould’s specific 
character ; in two others the crest is less developed, and the lanceo- 
lated plumes on the throat are less prominent.
