* This name is all right for those who agree to lump all our Indian, Burmese and 

 Andamanese races of this form. But it must be understood that the birds of this 

 region are not the small green Ceylon form, but the la>ge form (sinalensis, Hutton) 

 with the nape and sides of the head suffused with glaucous grey, and quite as dis- 

 tinct from the Ceylon form as is the Andamanese magnirostris, Bail, which I hold 

 to be a good species.— A. O. H.]
