* Mr. Cassin gives “ India ” as the locality for a specimen of this bird; 
but I have never heard of its occurrence on the western side of the Bay of 
Bengal, and know but of one instance of its having been obtained so high 
as in Arakan. When will writers cease to cite the word “ India ” so very 
vaguely ?
