Stachyris nigriceps, Hodgs.; Sharpe, Cat. B. vil., p. 532,

“No. 56. ¢. Irides brown.” 
Apparently identical with Himalayan specimens. 
Cyanoderma chryeeza (Hodgs.); Sharpe, Notes Leydon 
Mus. vi., p. 173 (1884). 
Sachyridopsis chrysea (Hodgs.); Sharpe, Cat. B. vii., p. 601. 
“No. 35. Irides brown. Male and female similar.” 
The specimen sent seems to meto be inseparable from S. 
chrysza. It isa trifle less distinctly streaked on the head, 
showing an approach to S. assimzlis, but it has the brillant 
throat of S. chrysea.
