Phyllornis icterocephahs, Temm., is P. cochinchinensis apud 

 nos, a species inhabiting all British Burma, with the Ma- 

 layan peninsula, and probably passing eastward to Cochin China.

 other, but having no yellow on the head, and more of this colour 

 on the breast.

 I shall conclude with a more elaborate description than has 

 hitherto been published of this remarkable species, from the

 ceeded in procuring.
