Exceedingly rare. I noticed this species both on Loi-San-Pa and 

 at Taunggyi. From its size it cannot be confounded with any other 

 Nuthatch. (H.N.T.) Two specimens, a <? and a 9 , sent me from 

 Taunggyi by Mr. Thompson. The 6 is similar in plumage to the 9 , 

 but of a darker slatey-blue above, and conspicuously larger. Both & 

 and 9 differ from the description in the Fauna volume in having the 

 feathers of the head from the forehead to the nape lying between the 

 two black bands that run from the nostril backwards, tipped with white. 

 This speckled band is very conspicuous. (O.T.B.).
