NOTES ON INDIAN TIMELllDES AND THEIR ALLIES. 647 



IXOPS NBPALENSIS NBPALENSIS, HodgSOn. 



The Hoary Bar-icing. 



Cinclosoma nipalensis, Hodgson, As. Res., xix., p. 145 (1836). 



Actinodura nipalensis, Sharpe, Cat., B. M., vii., p, 466. 



Ivops nepalensis, Gates, F. B. I., i., p. 203. 



Description. — As in Gates, F. B. I. 



Distribution. — Nepal, Sikhim and Butan. Birds from Sikhim appear 

 to be more rufous on the abdomen than the Nepal ones ; more specimens 

 are required from this last locality, as Hodgson's specimens are very worn, 

 and I believe some of his localities are doubtful, as he collected both in 

 Nepal and at Darjeeling. 



Ixops NEPALENSIS DAPLAENSis, Godwin-Austen. 



Austen's Bar-wing. 



Actinodura dajlaensis, Godwin-Austen, A. M. N. H. (4), xvi., p. 340 (1875). 

 Actinodura dajlaensis, Sharpe, Cat., B. M., vii., p. 467. 

 Ixops daflaensis. Gates, F. B. I., i., p. 204. 

 Description. — As in Gates, F. B. I. 

 Distribution. — Daphla and Miri Hills. 



Ixops nepalensis waldeni, Godwin-Austen. 



Walden's Bar-wing. 



Actinodura imldeni, Godwin-Austen, P. Z. S. (1874), p. 46; Sharpe, Cat., 

 B. M., vii., p. 465. 



Ixops waldeni, Gates, F. B, I., i., p. 204. 



Description. — As in Gates, F. B. I. 



Distribution. — Japvo Peak ; there are also 3 specimens from the Naga 

 Hills and Manipur ; these are more rufous below and show very little tract 

 of streaking on the breast or low parts. 



Ixops nepalensis poliotis,* Rippon. 



Rippon, Bull., B. G. C, xv., p. 97. 



Very similar to I. icaldeni, Godwin-Austen. Differs in having head 

 darker, and crest darker edged with grey ; ear-coverts ashy, instead 

 of silvery-grey. 



I do not consider this a good sub-species, and can see very little differ- 

 ence between it and I. loaldeni, of which there are only two specimens from 

 the type locality. In fact there is much more difference between I. tvaldeni 

 from Japvo Peak, of which there are two specimens, and the same species 

 from Manipur and Naga Hills, of which there are three very poor speci- 

 mens, than between typical I. waldeni, and I. w. poliotis, from the Chin 

 Hills, of which there are numerous specimens in the British Museum. 



YUHIN^. 



Have the following characteristics : wing and tail about equal ; the iirst 

 three primaries graduated ; the head fully crested, the feathers of the 

 crown lengthened ; the nostrils ..overhung with hairs. 



* Isops MOREisoNiANA, 0. Grant. 



Actinodura morrisoniana, O.Grant, Bull, B. 0- C, xvi., p. 119 (1906); Ibis 

 (1907), p. 185. 

 Distribution. — Mt. Morrison, Formosa.
