It is not nearly so quarrelsome a bird as its cousin already described, but it 
is quite as bold and plucky, and seems to be even a more finished fighter, for, 
as I have mentioned before, C. aurifrons does not care about attacking this bird, 
and gets the worst of it when he does. 
The song is the fullest and most prolonged, as well as by far the sweetest, of 
any bird of this genus, and it shares with the other members of it the wide 
variety of notes and wonderful power of mimicry. 
T have one female of this bird, which, however, is not an adult, which 
measures as follows :— 
Length °7”; tail 2°8”; wing 3°5”, 
This is the bird whose measurements I gave in the Asian; but now, with 
my greater experience of the species, I think that these figures are abnormally 
small, or that the bird would have become slightly larger with increased age. 
CHLOROPSIS CHLOROCEPHALA. 
Tuer Burmese CHLOROPSIS. 
Phyllornis chlorocephala, Hume’s Cat., No. 463, bis. 3 Chioropsis 
chlorocephala, Oates’ “ B. of B. B.,” Vol. 1., p. 208 ; ¢d., “ Fauna of 
B. L., Birds,” Vol. I, p. 237. 
Desoriprion.—Lores, feathers under and in front of the eye, cheeks, chin 
and throat, black ; forehead and a broad band from eye to eye passing round 
and encircling the throat pale yellowish-green ; front of the crown above the 
forehead and a broad streak passing over the eyes and ear-coverts pale green ; 
a very short moustachial streak cobalt ; crown of the head and nape goiden- 
green; back, rump, upper tail-coverts and scapulars deep green ; tail blue ; 
primaries and their coverts black, edged with blue; secondaries black on the 
inner, blue on the outer webs, and edged with green; tertiaries and inner- 
coverts green tinged with blue; lesser coverts glistening smalt-blue; medium 
and greater-coverts green, tinged with blue at the base, under plumage bright 
green, tinged with yellow on the breast (Oates). 
I have only seen one male of this species, and that in such bad condition 
that I give Oates’ description. 
' The female has no black on the head, these parts being bluish-green; the 
moustachial streak is paler and less glistening, and the plumage generally is 
duller. 
Length °7"; tail 27”; wing 3°3”; tarsus "75"; bill from gape *9” (Oates). 
T have only seen a single pair of these birds in North Cachar. They were shot 
at Gunjong, in January, 1891, feeding on a very high cotton tree. I know of 
nothing in their habits differing from those of the other members of the genus.
