Obs. The bird was obtained by Capt. F. M. Bailey in tlie 

 Mishmi Hills at an elevation of 7000 ft., 10.x. 13, and 

 I propose to name this subspecies in his honour. 



Ithagenes tibetanus, sp. n. 



Adult male. Differs from I. cruentus in having the lores 

 and supercilium crimson instead of black and in having no 

 black line under the eye ; the posterior ear-coverts are grey 

 and Avliite rather than black and white. The crimson on 

 the breast is far greater in extent and the flanks and lower 

 breast are almost entirely grey, the green only showing 

 in narrow stripes ; the green on the wings also is less 

 developed. 



The feathers of the throat, if carefully examined, will be 

 found to be crimson practically throughout, whereas in 

 /. cruentus they are black on their basal halves. 



From /. kuseri it differs in being much paler below, the 

 crimson being confined to the breast instead of reaching to 

 the throat and foreneck. The lores are crimson instead of 

 black and the supercilium is pure crimson instead of black 

 and crimson; finally, the broad black gorget, which in 

 /. kuseri extends from the top of the ear-coverts and round 

 the throat, shows only to the extent of a few dark grey 

 markings on the latter. In size the bird agrees with both 

 7. cruentus and I. kuseri. 



Hab. Sela Range, above Tavanz, 13,000 ft., Tibet. 



Type in the Museum of the Bombay Natural History 

 Society. 



Obs. The bird was obtained by Capt. Molesworth, who 

 reports that a large number were seen. 



Tragopan hlythi molesworthi, subsp. n. 



Adult male. Differs from T. b. blythi in having the whole 

 upper parts much darker in general tint, the rufous spots 

 much browner, and the buff vermiculations narrower and less 

 distinct ; the white spots are smaller though equally 

 numerous. Below, the red of the breast is confined to a 

 comparatively narrow gorget, descending only a' short way 

 below the neck on to the breast, and the whole of the rest
