256 LIST OF BIRDS COLLECTED IN THE 
have searched carefully for young males that had not donned 
the adult plumage, and succeeded in obtaining two or three in- 
different specimens. The colors were similar to those of the 
adult female, except that the cap was brown with a rufescent 
tinge, like that of the wings and tail, and there were some 
dull brick red feathers on the throat and breast. There were 
no violet ear coverts or moustachial stripes, and no yellow 
strie on the breast. I obtained a full plumaged male once at 
Khandala in August, but have not traced this bird through the 
fall and winter.
