*Certhia manipurensis. Hume's Tree-Greeper.

[Lieutenant Turner's specimen of this species quite bears out 

 Messrs. Hume and Oates* opinion of its distinctness, as the buff throat 

 and breast and longer bill are conspicuous at once. I should mention, 

 however, that C. discolor also occurs in Munipur, as the Museum possesses 

 a specimen procured there by Mr. R. D. Oldham.]
