As these two birds were of one flock there can be no doubt of their specific 

 identity, even although they differ much in size and in the form of their casques. 

 One corresponds to B. albirostris, Shaw, and the other to B. affinis, Hutton. 

 Jerdon has also recorded that in the Dehra Doon he had killed one or two in- 

 dividuals of the supposed species {S. affinis) of much smaller size, nearly corre- 

 sponding with the dimensions of S. albirostris, and he pointed out that the Cachar 

 birds referred by Major Godwin- Austen to S. coronata agreed in their measure- 

 ments with S. affinis, Hutton. 



With regard to S. intermedia, Blyth, which resembles S. albirostris, except 

 that its outer tail feathers are wholly white, it is noteworthy that birds of this 

 species occur with some of their tail feathers wholly white, a circumstance that 

 suggests a very close affinity between it and R. coronata, and H. convexa.
