Both Blyth (Catal.) and Jerdon (l. s. c .) give a reference to the 
18th vol. of the Journ. As. Soc. Beng. for the first description of this 
species, but I can find there no trace of such a description. The 
species seems to have been first formally noticed in Blyth’s paper on 
the Indian Pari in the Contr. Orn. for 1852.
