Valley (Biddulph): Kotegurgh in winter, Gaora, particularly 
abundant in the hot weather of 1866 at Simla (Beavan) : 
common at all heights between Simla and Mussoorie (Zyéler) : 
met with as high up as Derali, and even in the pine woods 
close to the snows (Brooks): several times seen in the well- 
wooded districts near Nynee Tal and Almora, where it was evi- 
dently breeding (Brooks) : large flocks seen in the early part of 
winter in Kumaon (Jerdon) : Nepal (Hodgson): Behar (Hodg- 
son): in Mahnbhoom along with P. speciosus (Beavan) : abun- 
dant in the Tista Valley, at elevations below about 6,000 feet 
(Brooks) : abundant in the forests which still partially cover the 
beautiful spurs running down from the Jella Pahar Mountains 
to the little Runjeet River (Bulger): Khasia hills (Godwin-

8.—Pericrocotus miniatus. 
Hab. Western Java (Wallace): Java (Temminck). Lord 
Walden (Jbis, 1872, p. 372) thinks that the bird figured by 
Temminck as the female, must be another species. Mr. Wallace, 
however, collected a pair in Western Java, which agree with 
the firures in Temminck’s plate; these birds were determined 
by Mr. Wallace to be male and female of the same species. 
9,—Pericrocotus roseus. 
Hab. “Spread through the wooded parts of India; not 
uncommon in Lower Bengal, as about Calcutta, extending into 
Arrakan. I procured it in Goomsoor, and I obtained it from 
various parts of Malabar. Lord Hay informed me that he 
had seen it most abundant on the hills dividing Tinivelly from 
Travancore; still it cannot be called common in the south of 
India” (Jerdon) : extends to the Lower Himalayas as far west 
as Mussoorie, and is not rare in some parts of the Dehra Doon
