450 Itinerary in the district of Amlierst, Tenasserim. [No. 5. 



tals and face paler and tinged fulvous. All lower parts from chin, 

 clear pale fulvous, inesially albescent, except on breast. 



Not uncommon in the hill-forests, frequenting bamboos and un- 

 derwood ; manners active and restless : silent. 



3. SpJienuridce — Turdinus (Blyth) guttatus (mihi). Spec, 

 female. March 2nd, 1859. Woods near Theethoungplee. 3000 ft. 



Dimensions. Length 6 T 5 «J". Wing 2\y. Tail 2i". Bill ±y. Tarsus 

 l T y. M. toe | ". 



Details. Typical. (See Appendix to Blyth's report for December 

 meeting 1842. Continued from Vol. XII, p. 1011, Journal As. Soc.) 

 Plumage of front, lores, and chin stiff and setaceous : but rictal 

 bristles not much developed. 



Color. Fem. Iris sepia. Lids nude and dull smalt. Bill horny, 

 dark on culmen, pale and livid on crura. Legs horny, claws pale. 

 Crown and upper parts rich vinous olive-brown, brightening to full 

 vinous, rusty on upper tail-coverts and outer webs of remiges. Tail 

 as back, obscurely barred blackish. Feathers of crown edged black, 

 a few pale spots on sides of occiput. Frontals ash, striated black. 

 Auriculars dusky, bounded beneath by a white line, which joins a 

 patch of white on ramus continued to bill. Chin and throat pure 

 white, separated from ramus by a black line which spreads into a 

 patch on side of throat. From top of eye down sides of neck and 

 across upper back a space of acuminate, black-edged, white feathers. 

 All underparts from throat rich orange rusty, deepening into vinous 

 brown on vent. 



I shot a pair of these birds on the date mentioned above : but 

 could not find the. male. It was however exactly similar to the 

 female, and as they allowed close approach, I could easily remark the 

 plumage. Habits active — Scandent (as in Megalurus, &c). Lurking 

 in dense thickets. Voice a low grating chatter. 



This is the third new species of the genus I have discovered in 

 Tenasserim. The other two were sent by me to the Society (through 

 Mr. Blyth) in 1855, and named by that gentleman t. breyicaudaths 

 and t. crispifrons. The latter species with its large tail is rather 

 an aberrant form, if retainable in the genus.
