630 AVES. 



Common in low bush jungle under-forest on the Kakhyen hills about Ponsee. 



Not having had authentic Chinese specimens of L. luteus wherewith to compare 

 my Burmese examples, I cannot speak with certainty respecting the specific differ- 

 ences of the two birds. Mr. G. R. Gray, however, in the ' Handlist ' separates them, 

 and I adopt his conclusion with regard to the name of L. callipyga for the Indian 

 bird, which indisputably belongs to it.
