“Andaman: June 25.” (Wimberley ). 
Two examples, shot on March 4, have the feathers of the 
occiput and nape brown-centred; those of the interscapular 
region and the primaries dark brown, rather than black, mixed 
with grey. The lengthened tertiaries are ashy rather than 
white. A third has the head pure white and the black plu¬ 
mage as in full dress; but the tertiaries are tinged with ashy. 
The birds killed on the 12th are in full black-and-white plu¬ 
mage. The example, however, obtained on June 25 is in im¬ 
mature plumage.

and culmen slate-colour, iris red, legs dull pinkish buff ; May 
5, d, bill purplish lake, tip and culmen slaty brown, iris red, 
legs pinkish buff.” 
The crown of the head only is dark chestnut-brown in the 
specimen noted as being of a female (conf. Ball, l. c .). 
The type of the Linnsean species was obtained in the Philip¬ 
pines ; and until Indian and Malayan are compared with Philip¬ 
pine examples their identity must remain in doubt. These 
Andaman individuals differ from the continental and Malayan 
form by being of a much darker iron-grey underneath, by the
