104 A List of Birds from the Khasi hills Sfc. [No. 2, 



This bird was first recorded in my MS. List as P. erythrogenys 

 of G o u 1 d, but differs from this species by its much shorter bill. 

 It was named and sent to Gould by Dr. J e r d o n, who first 

 discovered it in the Khasi Hills, but I believe it has never yet 

 been described. I, therefore, give a description and measurements 

 from the fresh specimen. 



Plumage generally dull throughout, back olivaceous with a 

 brown tint, tail coverts rusty. Throat and breast white, the former 

 dingy, upper part of breast spotted faintly with greenish brown. 

 Irides pale yellow. Bill much curved, blunt, no notch ; legs dull 

 brown, strong. Length 9 inches, extent 10", wing 3-2", tail 8J* 

 tarsus H". Spread of foot 1 T 9 /, bill to gape P2". 



Obtained at Nenglo beyond Asalu, under the Burrail range. Dr. 

 J e r d o n informs me, it is by no means rare near Debroghur, 

 Assam.
