Tonghoo, Karen nee, at 1500 feet, Tsan koo hills {W. R.) ; Thayet 

 Myo (0.); Pahpoon (D.). All the examples sent to me by both Major 

 Lloyd and Lieutenant Wardlaw Ramsay, from the Tonghoo province, belong 

 to the South Indian and Ceylon species. But Mr. Blyth seems to be correct 

 in his opinion that the Assam bird, M. capitalis, is a distinct species. All 

 the examples of the male I have seen from Darjeeling, Assam, and the Naga 

 hills, have the back brown, and the head alone black (cf. Blyth, Ibis, 1866, 

 p. 368 ; Jerdon, op. cit. 1872, p. 116; and compare Hume, Str. Feath. 1873, 

 p. 435 ; 1875, p. 93). Young males in both species wear the female dress. 

 The young H. picatus in transition plumage, before assuming the full black 

 dorsal garb, shows brown on the back. H. capitalis, & , when adult, retains 

 the brown colouring on the back J 



* Mason also gives M. picatus, meaning doubtless M. capitalis (of. Ibis, 1866, p. 368).
