Fain. Sylviam. 
86. Copsychus saulabis, Linn. 
Three specimens belonging to the Indian, not the Malaccan species (Q. 
Mindtmensis). A fully grown male has the four outer rectrices on either side 
white, this is a character according to Blyth, which distinguishes C. saularis 
from both Mindanensis and Ceylonensis. 
37. Kittaciacla albiventbis, Blyth. Three specimens. 
Measurements of & : length 7'8 ; wing 3'55 ; bill to gape ‘87 ; tarsus 
9 ‘5 inches. 
38. Abtoddsax oeiyaceus, Blyth, J. A. S. B. XIV, p. 595. A. 
cedon Pallas ? 
Three specimens of this not very well known bird. They correspond 
very closely with Blyth’s original description and type specimens so far as the 
faded condition of the plumage of the latter admits of comparison. In 
dimensions, however, they are somewhat smaller :

A, is the Andaman bird ; B, a bird in the Museum labelled by Blyth. 
The measurements of both are less than those given in Blyth’s original de- 
scription and in the “ Birds of India,” II, p. 157. Another of Blyth’s speci- 
mens on the same stand is larger than B, and more nearly corresponds with 
the published measurements.

The Andaman specimens (five), including both young and adults, appear 
to be identical with the Indian species. 
41. Tementjchus Axiiamayeysts, Tytler. 
The specimens in this collection (both $ and ? ) go far to establish 
Tytler’s opinion as to the distinctness of the Andaman bird from T. erytliro- 
pyr/ia, Blyth, from the Nieobars. Nope of them shew the slightest tendency
