As pointed out by Mr. Blytli, Ibis, 1867, p. 26, Daijiling specimens 
appear to agree with those from Tenaserim.

Top of head rufous olive, with a black band on each side above the rusty 
supercilia, wings yellowish white within. 
579. Tickelbia Hodgsoni, (Moore). 
Mr. Mandelli has obtained three specimens of this rare bird, two of 
which appear to have no yellow in the middle of the rump, only the sides 
being of that colour. The fifth and sixth quills in both specimens slightly 
exceed the fourth in length.

The following is the description of a specimen sent by Mr. Mandelli. 
Upper parts uniform olive brown, quills and outer rectrices brown with 
margins of the same colour as the back ; lores whitish, chin, throat and 
middle of belly dirty white, sides of neck and breast the same colour as 
the back, middle of the breast pale brown, thigh coverts, vent and under 
tail coverts olive brown, the last named with white tips of no great breadth, 
about OT in. ; bill black, feet brown. Wing 2'3 in., tail 2, the central 
feathers exceeding the outer by 03, tarsus OS2, bill from forehead 0 38, from 
gape 0'55. The fifth quill is the longest, the fourth very little shorter, 
third less by OT, second by 0'37 and first by 1 inch. 
522. Teibtjea luteoventbis, -Hodgs. 
I refer to this species a specimen sent by Mr. Mandelli, but which has 
not a trace of yellow on the lower parts.* The only example of Hodgson’s 
species in the Indian Museum is in very bad order, and the colours have 
* In Hodgson’s original description P. Z, S. 1845, p. 30, the bird is said to be 
above olive brown with a luteous lustre, below lutoscont laterally, and albescent cen- 
trally, a pale line over the eyo. This agrees much better with the speoimon before 
me than does J erdon’s account in the 1 Birds of India.’
