 1899. 



3. Siva wingatei, sp. n. 



Adult male. Allied to both S. cyanuroptera, Hodgs., and 

 S. sordida, Hume. It resembles both in the general colour 

 of the upper parts, the grey of the head and neck, shading 

 into olive-brown' on the back and fulvous on the rump and 

 upper tail-coverts. It further resembles S. cyanuroptera and 

 differs from S. sordida in having the chin, throat, sides, and 

 flanks washed with vinous grey. It differs from S. cyanu- 

 roptera and resembles S. sordida in having no white tips to 

 the bastard wing-feathers. From both it differs in having 

 only the inner webs of the outer pair of tail-feathers wbite 

 to -the tip ; moreover, the feathers on the forehead, lores, 

 and chin are strongly washed with rusty pink, though it is 

 just possible that this colour may be due to stain. Iris 

 brown. 



Total length 6*0 inches, culmen 6, wing 2*5, tail 2*5, 

 tarsus 09.
