once disappeared when I fired a shot at them. 
Hume (Stray Feathers vol. IX p. 175 footnote 1881) remarks that a specimen of 
Rhipidura albifrontata collected in the Thoungyeen valley in Tenasserim differs from 
the typical Indian bird in wanting the white triangular spots on the wing-coverts and in 
having the four central tail-feathers entirely black as well as the chin, throat and upper 
breast. He suggests the name burmanica for this bird though he was a little doubtful 
of these characteristics were constant. 
In my specimen the white spots on the wing-coverts are almost obsolete, the four 
central rectrices are almost black except a very small white spot at the tip of the second 
pair. The mantle and upper tail-coverts are clear ashy brown, much paler than in an In- 
dian bird I have had for comparison. In this last mentioned bird the white spots on the 
wing-coverts are very well- marked and there is a large white spot at the tip of the second 
pair of tail-feathers. 
I therefore believe that the Burmese and Siamese birds constitute a well-marked 
subspecies which ought to be called burmanica as suggested by Hume.

Fairly rare though generally distributed over the parts of the country visited during 
my journey. This beautiful and attractive bird frequents the evergreen forests and 
was never observed nor obtained in other kind of jungles. It is rather shy and disap- 
pears at once into the tangle of vegetation when disturbed. It, however, seems to be 
rather curious about everything and usually returns again to have a look at that which 
frightened it away. 
In the Siamese Malaya a few specimens of a Paradise Flycatcher were observed 
in the dense jungles which cover the mountain range between Siam and Tenasserim, 
but if it was this species or the allied Terpsiphone incit Goutp. I can not ascertain, 
because no specimens were procured here. 7’. incii has, however, recently been recorded 
from Bangkok by WILLIAMSON. 
All the specimens obtained are males in their second plumage and not a singe male 
in the beautiful white plumage was observed.
