Both these birds have the white patch very conspicuously developed on the 

 lower surface of the wing, and they are, therefore, referred to M. melanotis. 

 The female has the wing 18*8 inches in length ; the male 19'7. 



I shot them in a clump of fir trees, around a ruined monastery, immediately 

 outside the walls of Momien. Unlike the kite of India and Burma, I observed 

 that they did not subsist on the refuse of the bazaar, but hunted for their food 

 over the grassy hillsides.
