  Lower

   doubtfully

  Three 
  specimens 
  from 
  Leimumon 
  (Dec. 
  and 
  Jan.) 
  and 
  

   Nodouha 
  (May). 
  These 
  belong 
  either 
  to 
  this 
  species 
  or 
  to 
  

   one 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  it 
  ; 
  they 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  much 
  smaller 
  than 
  

   the 
  Indian 
  bird.

  The 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  breast 
  are 
  deep 
  blue 
  like 
  the 
  throat 
  and 
  

   chest, 
  but 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  breast 
  is 
  mottled 
  with 
  white 
  

   tips 
  to 
  the 
  feathers 
  ; 
  below 
  that 
  the 
  feathers 
  are 
  mottled 
  

   grey 
  and 
  white, 
  flanks 
  washed 
  with 
  grey, 
  only 
  the 
  abdomen 
  

   and 
  under 
  tail-coverts 
  pure 
  white. 
  In 
  two 
  specimens 
  the 
  

   underparts 
  and 
  under 
  wing-coverts 
  are 
  partly 
  washed 
  with 
  

   pale 
  orange-buff*, 
  which 
  seems 
  due 
  to 
  immaturity. 
  As 
  the 
  

   Indian 
  bird 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  met 
  with 
  in 
  Burmah, 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  

   unlikely 
  that 
  this 
  would 
  have 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  new 
  species, 
  but 
  

   Dr. 
  Sharpe 
  tells 
  me 
  that 
  he 
  cannot 
  distinguish 
  it.

   There
