The voice of tMs Crow is markedly distinct from that of C. splendem, and as its 

 characteristic coloration is apparently persistent, Mr. Hume has separated it speci- 

 fically from the Indian form, to which, however, it is closely allied. 



It extends northwards from Eangoon to Bhamo, and at the latter place I found 

 it associated with C. levaillanti, but less numerous. It does not, however, reach 

 the high country to the east, and I did not observe it in the Kakhyen hills.
