Chrysomma altirostre, Jerdon, Ibis, 1862, p. 22. 



Common at Thayet Myo. 



[This species has not been recognized since Dr. Jerdon described it 

 thirteen years since. By some it is regarded as nothing but P. sinensis, a 

 species thoroughly -well known to Dr. Jerdon. But, moreover, he mentions 

 (I. c.) that " it will probably be considered worthy of separation as a sub- 

 genus," and that it " makes an approach to the Paradoxornis group.'' In 

 conversation Dr. Jerdon has asserted that it was a "good species."]
