Birds from the Andaman Islands. 
The title adopted above was given by Mr. Blyth to the 
Nicobar Geocichla , which he subsequently identified (l. c.) 
with that of the Andamans. The specific name innotata, 
Blyth, was bestowed (op. cit. 1847; p. 146) on examples from 
the Malayan peninsula; from which the Andaman species ap¬ 
pears to differ by being considerably smaller and by having 
the ferruginous-orange colouring of the plumage, especially 
on the head, less intense. Mr. Blyth, however, at a later date 
regarded them as identical.
