* The true A. mahrattensis (Sykes), of South India, has been received at the London 

 Zoological Gardens. It has the bill wholly yellow, white irides ; a less developed frontal 

 crest, and more of white tipping the middle tail-feathers. A. leucocephalus, a very distinct 

 species, from Cochin China, is described in the Ibis, 1870, p. 185. Another allied species 

 from Siam is distinguished by Mr. Swinhoe as A. siamensis (P. Z. S. 1863, p. 303).
