The Grey-headed Einch-Thrush was obtained by Capt. Wardlaw Ramsay 
in Karennee at an elevation of 5600 feet. It is not known to occur 
elsewhere in Burmah. 
It has been found in the hill-tracts of Eastern Bengal, Bhootan and 
Sikhim. 
Less even is known of the present than of the preceding species. 
Dr. Jerdon states that in Sikhim it is found at from 3000 to 6000 feet 
elevation and that it is rare. 
P. flavirostris and P. austeni are not unlikely to occur in Burmah. 
Both species have the ear-coverts black ; but the first has the whole chin 
and throat black mottled with white, whereas the second has only the chin 
blackish.
