This is much more common in the valleys of Western Yunnan than the preced- 

 ing species ; however, it hecomes rare in the elevated valley of Momien, which may 

 be due in part to the absence of forest, as well as to the almost temperate character 

 of the climate.

Dr. Jerdon observes that the chestnut birds can always be recognised by the 

 absence of the rich glossy black neck and throat of T. paradisi, but this is not in- 

 variably the case, for I have specimens of that species before me from the Botanical 

 Garden, Calcutta, and Chanda, Central India, in which the neck, instead of being 

 glossy black, is dark-ashy, as in T. affinis.
