newly moulted plumage there may be slightly albescent extreme 
tips to the tail-feathers. Also, in lieu of the broad whitish 
bands which predominate on the under surface of the wing of 
H. cheela, our present species has slight and narrow pale cross¬ 
bands, the dark colour much predominating; and the white spots 
on the anterior portion of the inner surface of the wing are a 
good deal smaller. Irides yellow. Length of fresh bird 21 in.; 
extent 3j feet; closed wing 14 in.; tail 9 in.; tarsi 3 in. Sex 
not stated. This being Tytler's first discovery in the Andamans, 
he has named it after the Viceroy. Both this and H. cheela 
inhabit the Andamans; but the new species would appear to be 
the more common of the two there. A second discovery Tytler 
names after the late Viceroy. It is an Andamanese Crake 
( Euryzona canningi, Tytler), most like E. zeylanica of India, 
but very much larger, with tail proportionally more developed. 
Entire upper parts and breast of a rich dark colour approaching 
to maroon ; a slight olivaceous tinge about the rump; throat less 
deeply coloured; the abdominal region, flanks, and plumes black, 
with from two to four transverse white bands on each feather; 
under surface of the wing much the same. Length of recent spe¬ 
cimen ( $ ) 13 in.; extent 21 in.; bill to gape 1| in.; tarsi 2 in.; 
closed wing 6^ in.; tail 3j in., and very cuneiform. Bill yellow, 
with slight tinge of green; eyes reddish orange ; feet slate-green. 
“ Tytler's new Dendrocitta he has not sent yet, but he thus 
describes it:— 
“ ‘ D. hazlei, Tytler. Length 13J in.; wing 4| in.; bill to gape 
1 in.; tarsi 1 in.; wings and tail nearly black, with a broad 
white patch on wing; head, neck, and throat dark brown; back 
more rufous; belly and vent very rufous or chestnut; tail with 
twelve feathers (therefore not a Crypsirhina) . Not uncommon 
on the main island / 33 
Dr. Schlegel sends us the following notes :— 
1. Amongst the skins of birds collected by Dr. Bernstein in 
the island of Mortay, there is a new species of Lycocorax ( L . 
morotensis, Bernstein), resembling the L. pyrrhopterus, but some¬ 
what larger, and having the primaries from the 2nd to the 7th 
white for the first third of their length. I do not find this
