Having been able to collect near Simla numerous specimens of tins fish, 
from whence McClelland obtained his types, I find that considerable varia- 
tions occur in the species. 
The first, apparently typical form, has D. Head nearly 2/3 as wide 
as long ; preorbital terminating posteriorly in an obtuse projection. Scales 
very minute, but most distinct in the posterior paid of the body. In some 
the dark bands on the body are as wide as, in a few narrower or wider than, 
the ground colour. The dorsal has one row of spots, which are present or ab- 
sent on the caudal. 
The second variety has D. Head at least 2/3 as wide as long, no 
projection to preorbital. Colours the same. 
The third form has D. — U Head almost as wide as long, depressed) 
muzzle rounded ; no preorbital prominence, the pectoral a little longer than 
in the two previous forms. Colours the same except that some have several 
rows of black spots both on the dorsal and caudal fins, others have only a 
single row.

Accentoe Jeedoni, sp. nov. 
Bill shorter, feebler and sharper pointed than in A strophiatus, and not 
nearly so black. One specimen has the basal portion of the lower mandible 
pale brown. Total length 4'5 inches ; wing 2'51 to 2'G2 ; tail 2'3 to 2'51 ; 
bill at front - 35 ; tarsus '75. 
This bird in mode of coloration strongly resembles A. strophiatus, yet 
it is very distinct ; being altogether a paler, and less boldly marked species. 
The striation of the back is comparatively cloudy, and resembles that of 
Bipastes arboreus. The upper surface is a mixture of brownish grey and 
dark brown, and there is none of the warm rufous tint observable on the back 
of A. strophiatus. The rump and upper tail coverts, which are strongly 
streaked in strophiatus, are plain greyish brown in our bird, with hardly the 
faintest streak perceptible. The anterior portion of the supercilium is whi- 
tish, as in strophiatus, but the remainder, instead of being deep rusty red, is 
merely warm buff or fulvous. Above the supercilium is a dark band on each 
side of the head, which is continued to the occiput. The crown of the head 
is brownish grey, mottled indistinctly with palo brown. The back is brown-
