36. Copstchus sattlaeis, Linn. 



Three specimens belonging to the Indian, not the Malacean species (O. 

 Mindanensis). A fully grown male has the four outer rectrices on either side 

 white, this is a character according to Blyth, which distinguishes O. saularis 

 from both Mindanensis and Ceylonensis. 



37. Kittacikcla albxventeis, Blyth. Three specimens. 

 Measurements of $ : length 7 - 8 ; wing 3"55 ; bill to gape - 87 ; tarsus 



95 inches. 



38. Aeutsdinax olivacetts, Blyth, J. A. S. B. XIV, p. 595. A. 

 cedon Pallas ? 



Three specimens of this not very well known bird. They correspond 

 veiy closely with Blyth' s original description and type specimens so far as the 

 faded condition of the plumage of the latter admits of comparison. In 

 dimensions, however, they are somewhat smaller : 



Length. Wing. Tail. Bill at front. Tarsus. 



A. 6'6 inch. 3'07 inch. 3"1 inch. -55 inch. 1-03 inch. 



B. „ 313 „ 32 „ 53 „ 1-03 



A, is the Andaman bird ; B, a bird in the Museum labelled by Blyth. 

 The measurements of both are less than those given in Blyth's original de- 

 scription and in the " Birds of India," II, p. 157. Another of Blyth's speci- 

 mens on the same stand is larger than B, and more nearly corresponds with 

 the published measurements.

39. Destdeocitta Bayxei, Tytler, Ibis 1863, p. 119. 

 A good series of this bird. 



Measurements in inches. 



Length. Wing. Tail. Bill to gape. Tarsus. 



3 12-2 4-6 7'2 1- 1 inch. 



Sex? 11-8 4-6 7- 1-1 1 „ 



In my previous paper J. A. S. B. XXXIX, p. 242, "wing 2f," " was misprinted 

 for 4|."

40. Caloeistis panayensts, Scop. = C. cantor, Gm. Tide Ibis, 3rd 

 Series, Vol. I, 1871, p. 176. 



The Andaman specimens (five), including both young and adults, appear 

 to be identical with the Indian species. 



41. Tementtchtts Awdamajstensis, Tytler. 



The specimens in this collection (both <? and 9 ) go far to establish 

 Tytler's opinion as to the distinctness of the Andaman bird from T. erythro- 

 fygici-, Blyth, from the Nieobars. None of them shew the slightest tendency
