3. P. MONTICOLUS (Vigors). 
Gould’s Century, pi. 29, p. 2. 
This species appears to extend throughout the Himalayas, to which 
region it is however peculiar, so far as hitherto observed. 
4. P. GRIFFITH!! (Blyth). 
Journ. As. Soc. B. xvi. 445. 
This species rests as yet solely on the authority of an elaborate 
coloured drawing of a bird, obtained by the late celebrated botanist, 
Dr. Griffith, during his journey from Assam to Ava, and now in the 
possession of J. McClelland, Esq. of Calcutta. It is allied in colour- 
ing to P. xanthogenys and P. spilonotus , but is at once distinguished 
by being crestless and in the details of its markings. 
5. P. NUCHALIS (Jerdon). 
Madr. Journ. xiii. pi. 2, p. 130; (111. Ind. Orn., pi. 46). Blyth , in J. A. S. B. xiv. 553. 
As yet observed only on the Coromandal Ghats. 
The next six species are crested, like the European P. cristatus , 
L., with an additional large crested species still undescribed, from 
the North West Himalya, in the list of desiderata, appended to the 
Catalogue of the Birds in the Calcutta Museum. P. jlavocr {status, 
we may remark, is also one of the species of this genus, adorned 
with a lengthened crest. 
6. P. SPILONOTUS (Blyth). 
Catalogue of the Bijds in the Museum of the Asiatic ■Society, Calcutta, P. xantho- 
genys, apud Blyth, J. A. S. B. xvi. 445. 
This beautiful species inhabits Nipal and Sikkim, and there re- 
places the next. We figure both for comparison.
