The rosy-breasted example. 



A young bird but fully 



feathered. 



Mr. Mandelli says " to my recollection the dirty and brown-throated 



and breasted creepers (C, Nipalensis) are always found at low elevations. 



The white-breasted ones (C. Mandellii)^ always at high elevations. I know 



nothing about the yellow-breasted ones." (C. ^ioliczkcd). 



The latter were procured by Mr. Mandelli's shikaree but at what 

 elevation I have not ascertained.
