“This species, as found in Assam, compared with the figure in 
Gould’s Century of Himalayan Birds, is considerably smaller, and 
the colours more dull in the Assam than in the Himalayan bird. I 
am therefore disposed to think that the species has here reached its 
south-eastern geographical limit, as the rena puella may be sup- 
posed in Assam to have reached its northern limit.”—MeClelland's

capite subcristato vinaceo-fusco, plumis albicante strigatis ; subtus 
vinacea, abdomine pallidiore ; guld albidd, plumis laxis lanceo-

diore ; subtus ex diluto cinnamomeo albicans ; capite summo atro ;

This species deviates slightly from the character of Hyps. psaro- 
ides, the type which served for the definition of the genus, and gra- 
dually approaches that of Kittacincla of Gould.
