. Both Blyth (Catal.) and Jerdon (I. 8. c.} give a reference to the 

 18th vol. of the Journ. As. Soc. Beng. for the first description of this 

 species, but I can find there no trace of such a description. The 

 species seems to have been first formally noticed in Blyth's paper on 

 the Indian Pari in the Contr. Orn. for 1852.
