THE INDIAN GREY TITMOUSE. 
125 
I have examined^ with Mr. Sharpe, the two types of S» erythropleura, 
both males_, shot in the Tonghoo hills by Captain Wardlaw Ramsay, and 
one bird of the species named S. supei'ciliaris by Dr. Anderson killed by 
him in Yunnan. We find them identical. This species is very close to 
S. atrigularis and S. khasiana, but differs from them both in not assuming 
the black chin, throat and breast in the breeding-plumage. I base this 
assertion upon the evidence afforded by the Yunnan bird, which, though 
shot in June and evidently fully adult, is in the same plumage as the April 
bird described above. 
Anderson^s Hill- Warbler has been shot at Tonghoo by Capt. Wardlaw 
Ramsay, and was found by Mr. Davison on the higher parts of Mooleyit 
mountain in Tenasserim. 
Dr. Anderson discovered this species on the confines of Western China ; 
and Mr. Hume informs us that the Sumatran bird which he named Suya 
albogularis is identical with the present species.
