1914] Beebe: Review of the Genus, Gennseus. 313 



The species supposed to inhabit this region are the follow- 

 ing: 



1. a f finis (1 male from the River Namli; two thousand 

 feet; east of Myitkyina). 



2. granti (1 male from Puntum; six thousand feet; eight 

 miles east of Sadon) . 



8. nishetti (An imperfect male from Mt. Kachin; twenty- 

 five hundred feet; fives miles east of Sadon). 



4. cliffordi (The district in general). 



5. batemani (The district in general). 



6. horsfieldi (The district in general). 



At the locality from which affinis is recorded, the lower 

 River Namli, I found only horsfieldi, which was dominant and 

 almost typical, and a vermiculated bird associated with it which 

 closely resembled the description of obscurus, but differed from 

 it as much as do the most nearly related named species. The 

 two forms were living in close association, the first flock con- 

 taining three birds, all males, two of which were horsfieldi. In 

 fact this was about the numerical percentage of the latter in this 

 vicinity. On two occasions I saw a distinctly lighter bird in 

 company with horsfieldi but I failed to secure it. My next stop 

 was at Pungatong, some twenty miles farther east, at an ele- 

 vation of about four thousand feet. Here I located a flock of 

 eleven Kaleege, or what was probably two families of four and 

 five respectively, and two single cock birds. Each afternoon 

 these would unite and take the same route to water, down 

 a gently sloping hillside covered with light forest, across the 

 trail and on down to the stream at the bottom of a rather steep 

 ravine. I watched these birds carefully day after day until I 

 could actually recognize the individuals, in spite of the fact that 

 they were usually well looked after by a mob of Laughing 

 Thrushes. Then I began shooting and secured no fewer than 

 eight birds out of the eleven. This comprised all of one family 

 of two parents and two almost full-grown young males in first- 

 year plumage; the adult male parent of the second family with 

 a young female of the year, and both of the solitary cock birds —
