Mr. McClelland's Catalogue 



Genus Timalia, Horsf. 



47. Timalia pileata, Horsf., Linn. Trans., XIII. p. 151. 



" This is another instance of a species of the Malayan Archipelago 

 having extended itself to Assam, and is more interesting from the 

 smallness of its size, its length being only five and a half inches in 

 Assam, but in Sumatra and Java it is six and a half inches in length. 

 The tail in the Assam variety is marked with obscure bands, which 

 does not appear to be the case with the Java variety ; and the plumes 

 of the belly and thighs are shorter in the former than in the latter."

" The female is distinguished from the male by the black colour 

 being less intense, and intermixed more with a greenish tint. For 

 the first specimen of this elegant bird I was indebted to Mr. Grif- 

 fith, who procured it during our descent from the Kossia mountains
