THE MAHANADI AND GODAVARI RIVERS. 417 



present collection I have a ? from Kalahandi, which differs 

 from the former in size of wing and somewhat, too, in depth 

 of coloration. The hind claws also are appreciably longer in 

 the female. 



Length of wings. — £ 35; $ 3*15. 



452.— Ixos luteolus, Less. 



M}' observations on the range of this species (Vol. IV., p. 235) 

 were fully borne out by my trip thiough the country south of 

 the Mahanadi. 



456.— Rubigula flaviventris, Ticket! (456). 



I shot one specimen of the Black-crested Yellow Bulbul on 

 the south bank of the Mahanadi about 60 miles to the west of 

 Cuttack, and a second in the hills near Rampur in Kalahandi. 

 In the former neighbourhood they wt re not uncommon, but in 

 the latter I saw but a single pair. 



465.— Phyllornis aurifrons, Temm. 



I met with this species as far south as Jaipur. P. Jerdoni 

 occurred pretty generally throughout the jungly portions of 

 the area. 



582.— Sylvia affinis, Blyth. 



This species I have never obtained in Chutia Nagpur, but 

 this year I shot it in Karial (Raipur) in the month of January. 



596 and 597.— Anthus maculatus and arboreus. 



Both these species appear to occur throughout the area 

 under description. Of the former species maculatus I have 

 specimens from Talchir, Sambalpur and Jaipur; of the latter 

 {arboreus) from Jaipur and Bustar. 



693— Eulabes intermedia, Hay. 



The localities in which I saw the Black Maina were all situat- 

 ed in the heavy forest tract on the northern slopes of the 

 Jaipur plateau. 



A pair, which I shot, measured in the flesh had the following 

 dimensions : — 



8 Length 10-3; Ex. 20-6; Wg. 665 ; Tl. 3; Ts. 1-4 ; Bill from gape 1«6 

 ? „ 95 „ 18-2 „ 6- „ 285 „ 13 „ 1-45 



The £ is a more massive bird than the ? and, the bill is 

 markedly higher and more curved. This difference in the 

 appearances of the sexes has not always, perhaps, received due 

 consideration.
