Of these however, three, viz., B. fuscoflavesctns, C. Falumhoides, 

 and M. alhogularis are the birds referred to as B. melanocephahis, 

 juv, C insularis, and M. punctata, by Mr. Ball; as I cannot 

 at present concur in these identifications, I have described them 

 as new, loc. cit., and of these need say no more here. 



The Andamans contain at least two utterly distinct species of 

 Spilornis ; the one, that described as Elgini,\)y Tytler,wing' averag- 

 ing- 14*5 to 15 as a maximum; weight of an adult female, less than 

 2 lbs. ; the whole under parts, a rich deep chocolate brown, much 

 the colour of the young Moor Buzzard ; chin, throat, and upper 

 breast, wholly devoid of any markings whatsoever ; the rest of 

 the lower suface including the entire wing lining, under tail 

 coverts, and tibial plumes, with conspicuous well defined oval 

 or circular, pure white spots ; bill, pale whitish or yellowish, or 

 brownish horny, except just at the tip. 



Is this hacka of Daudin ? That haeha occurs in the Andamans 

 is certain, because two specimens sent to the Zoological Society
