With reference to what I have said at pages 21 and 526 

 of Vol. II. as to the colour of the bill in the quite young bird of 

 Palaornis fasciatus, I beg to add the following note by Mr. F. 

 DeRoepstorff : — " You will remember naming that young 

 Falaornis with the black bill for me. Now, I got that bird as 

 a little one before its feathers were properly grown, and its 

 upper mandible was then red ; on this account I thought it 

 was a male, but after a short time I found the red or reddish 

 colour of the bill, which was not unlike that of the same part in 

 the adult male, change into black." 



"With reference to my remarks in regard to the Cuckoos 

 of the Andamans, (Vol. II., p. 191) I note now that I have 

 just received a specimen of the true Cuculus micropterus, killed at 

 the Andamans by Mr. A. DeRoepstorff. Both C. striatus and 

 C. micropterus have therefore been correctly included in the 

 avifauna of the islands of the Bay of Bengal.
