APPENDIX I. 515 



The source of Blyth's mistake is now apparent. He saw a 

 specimen of the present species from Tavoy, and did not at the 

 moment discriminate it from phayrei. Indeed it is very close 

 to phayrei, and differs chiefly in its more rufescent upper sur- 

 face, its much paler under surface, and pure white throat.

Add, Tavoy, base of Nwalabo, and intervening country. 

 p. 291 ; 413. — Garrulax moniliger, Hodgs. 



Additional specimens from Tavoy, with all the lateral tail 

 feathers tipped with pale reddish ochre instead of with white 

 as in typical moniliger, induces me again to call attention to the 

 approach made by these southern birds to the Chinese picti- 

 collis. In fact these are picticollis, except in so far as the gorget 

 is blackish brown, as in moniliger , and not grey, as in picticoUis.

We found this species very common about the base of Nwala- 

 bo and the forest country intervening between this and Tavoy. 

 This is much the most northern locality at which we have 

 observed it. 



I have recently obtained from Borneo a specimen of what 

 is apparently the true gutturalis of Miiller ; ochraceus is ex- 

 tremely close to this, so close that I am doubtful whether the 

 two should be separated ; gutturalis is a larger bird ; wing in a 

 female, 4*3. The bill is conspicuously larger ; the crowu is a 

 little deeper, and more rufescent in color ; the occipital feathers 

 are less elongated ; the lores, cheeks and ear-coverts are per- 

 ceptibly greyer ; the chin and throat are a less pure white, 

 having a decided shade of grey. Otherwise (and these differ- 

 ences are very slight) the birds are identical. 



p. 315 ; 452 dec. — Iole viridescens, Blyth. 



Very common in forests at the foot of Nwalabo and the coun- 

 try intervening between this and Tavoy. 



Nestlings of this species obtained in April differ from the 

 adults in the purer olivaceous hue of the upper surface, and in 

 having the whole visible portion of the quills and primary 

 greater coverts and tail feathers, pale bay.
