Sasciatis ; remigibus primoribus fuscescentibus, vewillis alternis 
flavo-guttatis vel fasciatis. 
Length nine inches. 
This bird belongs to Mr. Swainson’s subgenus Chrysonotus, Lard. 
Cab. Cycl. Birds, II. p. 309, of which Picus Tiga, Linn. Tr., XIII. 
177, is given as the type. 
Genus Yunx, Linn. 
84. Yunzx torquilla, Linn. 
The specimens collected by Mr. McClelland agree in all points 
with the bird as found in Europe. 
Fam. CERTHIADE. 
Genus Sitra, Linn. 
85. Sitta frontalis, Horsf., Linn. Trans., Vol. XIII. p. 162. 
Genus Upupa, Linn. 
86. Upupa Epops, Linn. 
From comparison with European specimens, it appears that this 
bird, as occurring in Assam, can scarcely be considered a variety of 
the U. Hpops of Linneus; although Mr. McClelland’s specimens 
are rather smaller, they do not agree with the U. minor of Shaw, 
which is found in Africa, 
Genus PomaToruinus, Horsf. 
87. Pomatorhinus montanus, Horst., Linn, Trans., XIII. p. 165. 
No essential difference is apparent between a specimen of this 
bird sent from Assam and the specimens obtained in the Island of 
Java, from which the original description was made. 
Fam. CucuLip&. 
Genus PHa@nicopHaus, Vieill. 
88. Phenicophaus tristis, Lesson ? 
“ Bottle-green above; dark greenish-gray beneath; throat light 
greenish-gray, with black streaks ; naked space around the eyes; su- 
perciliary streak white; tail with white tip; beak green. Thirteen 
inches long.” Mc Clelland’s MS. 
No specimen having been found of this species, it will require 
further observations to determine its true character. 
Genus CentTrRopwus, IIl. 
89. Centropus Philippensis, Cuv. 
“ This species is very common in villages and cultivated rice-fields 
in Assam, and in low inundated lands along the banks of rivers. It 
is tame even in the most deserted places in which it is found, and 
seldom flies ; but if pressed too closely, it rather forces its way into 
a thick hedge. It delights in moist humid climates, as is proved by 
the vast numbers of them which occur in the Sunderbunds, the only 
part of India except Assam in which I have seen them ; but I believe 
they are also seen in the vicinity of Calcutta. I am informed that 
they are common at Maulmain on the Tenasserim coast, but I 
question if they are to be found in India further north-west than
