a. I. I $ Ponsee, 12th March 1868. 



This bird occurred on the old rice clearings on the hill sides at Ponsee. 



The species extends to the Khasi hills (Shillong), where it was first obtained by 

 Major Godwin- Austen and afterwards by Mr. Cockburn collecting for Mr. Hume. 



I have compared the types of B. fytchii with the type of B. hopUnsoni, and 

 find that the two are specifically identical, as was pointed out by Mr. Hume.
