196 H. H. Godwin- Austen — Fifth List of Birds from the [No. 4, 



white or fulvous white centres. A few almost white feathers on the middle 

 of the breast. Chin white ; gular feathers white, with pale fulvous or 

 ferruginous edges. Bill dark brown. Legs pale flesh-colour." 



" Bill from nostrils 025 inch, wing T87, tarsus 0-75, tail 1-75." 



" Described from a specimen obtained at Kedimai in the Munipur 

 Hills." 



Having obtained specimens of this bird at Shillong in June 1875, I 

 ean add a few additional notes from birds in the flesh. The specimen first 

 described is evidently in an immature stage of plumage. In the adult, the 

 lores are pale over the eye also, the border of lower mandible is white, the 

 under surface is more rufous, there is no sign of white tippings to the breast 

 or abdominal feathers, the irides are red-brown, and the legs pale horny. 



In the Jardin des Plantes at Paris, where Mr. Oustalet very kindly got 

 out for my inspection the fine series of birds collected by Pere Armand 

 David in Moupin, Setchuan, &c, there is a Pnoepyga very close to this form, 

 the P. Halsneti of A. David, which is speckled all over with whitish on a pale 

 umber-brown, has a pale rufous moustaehial streak, a white throat, and 

 a finely barred tail.
