c. ? Muangla, 33nd May 1868. 



This species is not uncommon at Bham&, and I traced it along our route as 

 far east as the middle of the Sanda valley, 2,500 feet, beyond which, however, I 

 failed to observe it. The Bhamd specimens were shot in September, and are 

 moulting their primaries. 



I did not observe it in the sequestered Hotha valley, wliich is separated from. 

 the Sanda one by a high range of mountains, and is at a higher elevation.
