1870.] Brief notes on the Geology Sfc. of Nancowry harbour. 31 



3. Todiramphtjs occipitalis, B 1 y t h. — J. A.S. B.,XV, pp. 23, 51 ; 

 Halcyon occipitalis, Novara Exp., Vogel, p. 46. 



This noisy bird may frequently be seen perched on the bushes 

 in the clear spaces near the new settlement on Camorta. It also 

 frequents trees on the sea coast. 



4. Nectaeenta pectoealis, Horsf. — PL Col. 138. I shot a 

 female on Camorta. The bird appeared common in the forest near 

 the old Danish settlement on Nancowry. 



5. Zostebops palpebeosits, T e m. — PL Col. and J. A. S. B., XV, 

 p. 370. Shot a female of this species also on Camorta. 



6. Hypsipetes virescens, Blyth. — J. A. S. B., XV, p. 51; 

 IT. Nicolariensis, Horsf. and Moore, Cat. East India Mus., I, 

 p. 257 ; Novara Exp., Vogel, p. 76, PL iii, fig. 2. Probably abun- 

 dant on Camorta, shot one specimen. 



7. Myeagea azueea, Bod d. — Birds of India, I, p. 450. 31. 

 coerulea, Blyth, J. A. S. B., XV, p. 370. My specimen which was 

 shot on Trinkut, appears to be the young of this species, but it is 

 not in sufficiently good order for one to be certain of its identity. 



8. G-eocichla inwotata, Blyth, J. A. S. B., XV, p. 370 ; 

 G. albogularis, Blyth, J. A. S. B., XVI, p. 146 ; Ibis N. S., HI, 

 325. My specimen from Camorta corresponds exactly with one in 

 the Indian Museum labelled by Blyth, G. innotata from the 

 Nicobars,but for which he suggested I. c. the name albogularis. Both 

 have the wing f of an inch shorter than an Andaman specimen, 

 while they are exactly the same size as in another specimen, 

 apparently too from the Andamans. 



9. Oeiolus maceoueus, Blyth. — J. A. 8. B., XV, p. 46; 

 Novara Exp., Vogel, p. 74. This well marked Oriole seems tolerably 

 abundant ; I also saw another species, distinct from melanocephalus. 



10. Eulabes Andamanensis, T y 1 1 e r. — Ibis, New Series, III, 

 p. 32 ; Gracula Javana, Cuv., in Exped. Novara, Vogel, p. 88 ; G. 

 intermedia, A. Hay, apud Blyth, Adventures and researches 

 among the Andaman Islanders, Appendix, p. 359. — Procured a 

 specimen of this Maynah on Camorta. A very much injured skin 

 given to me in the Andamans, enabled me to compare the birds 

 from both localities. I can detect no difference between them ; this 

 confirms Lord Walden's belief as to the bird extending to the Nico- 

 bars. (Vide " Ibis," New Series, III, p. 331).
