514 APPENDIX I. 



p. 265 ; 394 bis. — Stachyrhis assimilis, Wald. 



A single specimen of this species was procured at the foot of 

 Nwalabo. 



p, 266 ; 395. — Mixornis rubricapillus, Tick. 



Add, forests at base of Nwalabo, and country between that 

 and Tavoy, where very common. 



p. 277; 399 ter. — Pellorneum tickelli, Blyth. 



Since my remarks on this species were penned I have obtain- 

 ed a specimen of Turdinus garoensis, God.-Aust., from Mon- 

 flong in the Khasia Hills. 



I find that that species is, as I believed, quite distinct from 

 the bird I call Pellorneum tickelli. 



In the first place tickelli is altogether a much deeper colored 

 and more rufescent bird above, and it has the fifth quill the long- 

 est, while garoensis has the sixth the longest. The feet, and espe- 

 cially the hind toe and claw, are distinctly smaller in garoensis. 

 A certain supsrficial resemblance undoubtedly exists between the 

 birds, but they can be separated at a glance. 



Again, as I suspected garoensis is much nearer my T. minus, 

 but it is distinct from this; in T. minus, the pale shafting of the 

 feathers is scarcely traceable on the crown, while it is pretty con- 

 spicuous there in garoensis. The whole upper plumage of 

 garoensis, as well as the sides and flanks, are much more olivace- 

 ous and much less rufescent. The bills too are different, that of 

 T. minus being much broader at the base, more of the Trichas- 

 toma and less of the Pellorneum type, whilst in garoensis the bill 

 is of the Pellorneum type. 



The legs and feet in T. minus are white, or almost white, 

 whereas in garoensis they are pale brownish horny. The wings 

 too are differently shaped, the fifth, sixth, and seventh quills 

 being equal or very nearly so in T. minus, while the fifth is 

 conspicuously shorter than the sixth in T. garoensis. 



p. 278 ; 399 sext. — Pellorneum subochraceum, Swinh. 



Add, base of Nwalabo, and country between this and Tavoy, 

 where it was extremely common in March and April, 



p. 281 ; 401 quint. — Pomatorhinus albigularis, Blyth. 



We obtained a specimen of this species at the foot of Nwala- 

 bo not very far from Tavoy. 



At page 279, supra, I referred to Blyth's statement that 

 P. phayrei occurred at Tavoy.
