Pyctorhis nasalis. 



W. V. Legge, Annais and Magazine of Natural History. Vol. 3 

 No. 14, Febr. 1879. p. 169. 



The Ceylonese race of Pyctorhis sinensis has the nostril 

 as black as the bill, there being no trace of the yellow colour 

 round the nostril which characterizes birds from all parts of the 

 Peninsula and Burmah. It is altogether a darker bird than the 

 Continental, the latter having the head reddish brown an the outer 

 webs of the quills cinnamon or pale chestnutred. The insular bird 

 has the primaries margined externally witli reddish brown, which 

 imparts a very difterent appearance from that which is noticeable 

 in the red closed wing of the Indian form.
