*356. TlMELIA JEEDONI (J. 396). 



Timalia erdoni, Walden, Ann. M. N. H. (4), x. p. 61 ; T. bengalensis, Godwin 

 Austen. 



"Upper Burma, where much, more abundant than in Bengal, and less 

 shy, affecting hedge-rows and villages, instead of the unfrequented grass 

 jungles and thickets, in which alone it is seen in Bengal" (Jerdon). 



Mr. W. T. Blanford informs me that he has Burmese specimens of 

 intermediate size to T. jerdoni and T. pileata, Horsfield, rendering the pro- 

 priety of their separation doubtful. 



[Kangoon, Tonghoo {W. R.) ; Pahpoon, Yeboo (I).). The continental 

 form must take the title of T. bengalensis, Godwin Austen (J. A. S. B. 1872, 

 p. 143), which has priority over mine. As the specific validity of the 

 species in no way depends on its dimensions, the information quoted has no 

 bearing on the point. And this remark equally applies to Mr. Hume's 

 observations (Str. Peath. iii. p. 118). The large series, from various parts, 

 I have had opportunities of comparing with the Javan species, fully support 

 Dr. Jerdon's, Major Godwin Austen's, and my own conclusions.]
