1866.] VISCOUNT WALDEN ON BIRDS FROM TENASSERIM. 549 



only being rufous. The nape is considerably more ashy, and the 

 upper surface much brighter ferruginous, than that of the Tenasserim 

 race. The upper tail-coverts are olive-rufescent, and the primaries 

 are of a ruddier brown, their outer edges being tinged with olive. 

 The wing, which in G. leucolophos and G. belangeri measures 5 inches, 

 somewhat exceeds that length. The bill is equal in length to that 

 of G. belangeri, but is longer by an eighth of an inch than that of 

 G. leucolophos. The tarsus in all three is equal. I propose the 

 specific name of leucogaster for this race.

" Shot in company with G. leucolophos, (Hardw.)." (G. belan- 

 geri, Less.). " Irides crimson-red ; legs dirty brown." Tenasserim 

 and, perhaps, some of the regions to the north appear to be the true 

 and only habitat of this species.

" This bird is certainly very common, in small parties of three or 

 four ; they seldom venture far from thick cover, and have a pleasant 

 call. Like P. nigropileus, Blyth, it occasionally frequents low 

 bushes. Irides brown; legs bluish plumbeous; bill dark horny 

 plumbeous." No distinction to be observed between the sexes. The 

 specimens sent most certainly belong to Strickland's species, the type 

 of which was from, to him, some locality unknown, " probably from 

 some of the Malayan islands." The affinities of this species seem 

 to point to Ixos. 



23. Pycnonotus nigropileus, Blyth, J. A. S. B. 1847, p. 472. 

 No. 76, J . Moulmein. 



"Common, in small parties, about Moulmein, searching for insects 

 amongst flowering creepers. Bill black, with slightly plumbeous 

 tinge ; legs more leaden." A good species. P. hcemorrhous (Gm.) 

 is said by Mr. Blyth to replace it in Arakan (J. A. S. B. 1863), while 

 in Bengal we only find P. pygceus, Hodgs. But Dr. Jerdou inclines 

 to the opinion that Arakan individuals belong to a distinct race. It 

 would be interesting to know the extreme northern and southern 

 limits of the Tenasserim bird.

" Plentiful in thick trees. Irides greyish white ; bill leaden blue, 

 darker only on ridge of upper mandible ; legs leaden blue ; claws 

 brownish, and soles dirty yellow. This specimen agrees with Jer-
