BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 195 



The upper surface in some birds is greyer, and the orange tinge 

 m the middle of the back is almost wanting-, but I have seen 

 "° m lf$ s Vf™ en > any thing like so grey as the figure in the 

 XOis, if I. A., 1676, and the bill is not correctly colored. 



The chin and upper part of the throat is a sordid greenish 

 white; the rest of the throat and breast and lower halves of sides 

 ot the neck grey or greyish white, with a greenish tinge; the 

 middle of the abdomen, vent and lower tail-coverts bright 

 yellow, with more or less of an orange tinge, especially in some 

 specimens on the latter ; wing-lining and axillaries pure 

 white; sides of the abdomen and flanks greyish olive fringed and 

 shaded with yellow; wing dark hair brown ; coverts and ter- 

 tiaries margined with olive green or olive yellow ; primaries and 

 secondaries with bluish grey to greyish white margins; tail hair 

 brown; some of the longest upper tail-coverts are sometimes 

 olive green, with only a faint orange tinge; tibial plumes in 

 both sexes whitish.

Occurs throughout the province, but sparingly, and does not 

 ascend the hills. 



[Occurs throughout Tenasserim, except, so far as I know, in 

 the dry deciduous forests south of Moulmein, but it is nowhere 

 common Like the other species of the genus, it feeds much 

 on the glutinous fruit of the Loranthus. It never goes far into 

 dense forests, though I have shot it at their edges.— W D 1
