The race in Burma resembles the Indian form in every respect, except that 

 the hair-like crimson feathers below and behind the eye are darker and shorter 

 than in the Bengal race, and the white ear-patch is a little larger. I did not 

 observe this bird beyond ; in the Sanda vaUey to the eastward its place appears to 

 be taken by Fycmnotus xanthorrhous, Andr.
