Under the name Anthus rufosuperciliaris, Mr. Blyth, J. A. S. 

 B., XXIX, p. 105^ described the Atidaraan pipit as follows: — Like 

 A. pratensis, but with the supercilium and moustachial streak of 

 a ruddy rusty color. Closed wing- 8i inches ; tail 2i inches ; 

 and bill and hind claw as in ^. pratensis, of which it may be 

 regarded as a local variety or sub-species. Subsequently (Mouat's 

 App.) he wrote : — " Specimens agree with those of A. cervinus 

 from Pegu and China/'' His remarks in the Ibis for 1867, p. 

 82, render it possible that the Andaman bird should stand as 

 A. rosaceus, but there are no specimens in Calcutta for comparison.

 ^^. Blyth writes : — " G. Andamanensis may be quite distinct 

 from C. cidminatus ; hwtl have only received the latter from 

 the Andamans, and as it is certainly common on both sides of 

 the Bay of Bengal, extending southwards as far as Malacca 

 (where it co-exists with C. enca), it is a species most likely to have 

 found its way to the Andamans/'' 



79_(660 5i5).— Corvus Andamanensis, Tytler. 



Andamans.— T. and B., Ibis, N. S., Ill, 1867, p. 328. 



Colonel Tytler considei^ed this bird qtiite distinct from C. 

 mlminatus, being " nearer C. intermedius of the Himalayas, 

 but it is slightly larger than that species." 



Captain Beavan wrote : — " I am inclined, after a careful examin- 

 ation of several specimens, to agree with Colonel Tytler, having 

 besides, during my visit to the Andamans in 1865, noticed 

 that the voice of this species differs entirely from that of
