116 Birds of Burma. [Wo. 1, 



Garo hills, and Naga hills examples, by wanting the grey-coloured cheeks and 

 ear-coverts of A. nipalensis, and by having the tail brown and not rufous. 

 All the dimensions are greater. Wing, 2-75 ; tail, 3 ; tarsus, 0'87.] 



*370. SlBACHTEHIS NTGRICEPS (J. 391). 



Arakan, Tenasserim mountains. " In hilly forests, 3000 feet" {Ticlell). 

 Timalia larvata, S. Miiller,* from Sumatra, is nearly akin and should be 

 compared with it. 



[Pegu hills (O.).J 



[371. S. euficeps (393). 



Karen nee ( W. R.)\ neighbourhood of Pahpoon (B.). 

 A single Karen nee example, in very indifferent order, appears to belong 

 to this species.J 



[372. S. EtJITFEONS. 



S. rufifrons, Hume, Star. Feath. i. p. 479. 

 Pegu hills (0.).] 



*373. S. chetsea (J. 394). 

 8. prcecognitus, Swinhoe. 



Arakan, South China. 



\_S. chrysea is also stated by Dr. Jerdon to occur in Arakan, and in Mr. 

 Blyth's manuscript the number of that species in Jerdon's Birds of India 

 (394) is added to the title. But it is evident that S. precognita, Swinhoe, 

 cannot be a synonym, for it is the name of a species nearly allied to, although 

 distinct from, S. rufieeps. This last species was probably omitted by Mr. 

 Blyth through accident, while to it he doubtlessly intended to add S. precog- 

 nita, Swinhoe, as a synonym, and not to S. chrysea.]
