No. III.— NOTES ON SOME LAKHIMPUR BIRDS. 

 Within a very short time of the publication of Mr. Baker's notes on his 

 new species of CorythocicMa I have been lucky enough to obtain two female 

 specimens of the same bird. Both were brought in by Nagas, the first on 

 November 21st, the second on December 1st, 1901. On comparing them with 

 a specimen of C. striata also found here a striking difference was noticeable. 

 My birds agree perfectly with that obtained by Mr. Baker except that the 

 white centre to the abdomen is not so large as in the plate. 



Another marked feature is the greater slenderness of both bill and feet of 

 squamata as compared with striata. 



The tails of both my birds are '75", I noted the colour of the iris in mine 

 as red-brown though the other colours of the soft parts agree minutely with 

 those of Mr. Baker's bird. Both specimens must have been obtained close to 

 Margherita and at no great elevation. Another curious occurrence is that of 

 Phylloscopus neglectus which little warbler was identifiel for me by Mr. 

 Baker who also examined the Corythocichla. 



Within the last year I have also obtained specimens of Ptilolcenms Austeni 

 from the fledgling to the adult stage. The young are, as shown in " Birds of 

 Cachar," far more rufescent than the adults in the upper plumage, and their 

 bills are strongly tinged with green at the base. 



An adult female in my collection has curious white strioe in the breast and 

 upper abdomen.
