I 



I Published by an oversight without description or reference, owing to non- 

 appearance of Nov. Bull. B.O.C. Mr. La Touche tells me the Chinese bird has 

 the 2 long crest feathers when fully adult, and Mr. Sclater (MS.) says that a Hainan 

 bird in the Brit. Mus. has them. I therefore omit this as a character and retain 

 the form tentatively on size alone.
