If one luriirf aside the blue axillaries we find a smaller 
wiiit ■ liai underneath thein. This crosses the under wing- 
ccvci't^ un'd begins exactly where the barring of the {light- 
feather,-, leaves off. It begins at the tenth under wing-covert 
very faintly, reaches its maximum at the twelvth, and ceases 
to exist at the fifteenth. It is so completely hidden by the 
blue axillary feathers as to be easily overlooked. We are 
sorry Mr. Shore Baily had the misfortune to lose his hen bird 
by accident, and thank him most cordially for sending it along 
in orde:" that these points may be verified. 
All that remains is to get a cock bird with the green 
spec. I maintain I have seen one. If that be so the 
green spot must be relegated to the limbo of obscurity and 
as it is so misleading, the sooner the better.

Several Himalayan Black Bulbuls (Hypsipetes ps'ir- 
oidfs) also in the compound. The majority had already 
left in March, and the remainder left during the first, 
week of April, the last date on which the species was aotcd 
being April 8th.
