The bright supercilium and the faintly black-spotted breast are 

 the distinguishing characters of this species. 



Olive-brown above, the head and nape faintly washed with black ; 

 supercilia white ; lores black ; chin, throat, and breast white, tinged 

 with rufous ; breast indistinctly spotted with black ; abdomen and

CULICIPETA TEPHROCEPHALUS, 11. Sp. 



C. shnilis C. burkii sed pileo et nucha cinereis, lateribus lororum 

 nigrofasciatis. 



Ahe 2-10, caudse 1*90, tarsi "72, rostri a rictu - 54, a fronte 4. 



Hub. Bhamo, Burmah. 



This species resembles G. burkii, but has the head and nape cine- 

 reous, with a black band along their lateral margin, as in C, burkii. 

 The latter is slightly duller green.

This bird is intermediate between //. psaroides and //. ganeesa, 

 but is most closely allied to the latter. It is also nearly allied to 

 H. nigerrima, Gould, with which I have compared it. It is a larger 

 bird than any of the foregoing species. It is also a much greyer bird 

 generally than the //. perniger, Swinhoe, and considerably larger. 



Blyth's II . concolor is so imperfect in every way that I do not 

 attempt to supplement his meagre description. 



I have all the species of this group before me, and agree with 

 Blyth that H. neilyherriensis, Jerdon, is the same as H. ganeesa, 

 Sykes ; and I believe it to be extremely doubtful whether the latter
