116 Mr. R. B. Sharpe on the Genus Ortliotomus. 
below Darjeeling. To the eastward it occurs in the Khasi 
hills,, as Major Godwin-Austen, in his list of the birds of 
these and the North Kachar hills (J. A. S. B. 1870, p. 107), 
mentions a specimen being shot near Cherra Punji in October. 
Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay has also obtained it in Burmah in the 
Tsan-koo hills at an elevation of 3000 feet ( cf . Walden in 
Blyth, B. Burm. p. 121). 
Besides the above twelve species there are three which I 
have not been able to make out, viz. :—O. longirostris , Swains. 
An. in Menag. p. 343, Hah. Australia! O. maculicollis , F. 
Moore, P. Z. S. 1854, p. 309, Hah. Malacca; and O. hugelii y 
Pelz., Hab. New Holland (?). 
P.S. Since this paper was finished Mr. T. J. Moore has 
been so kind as to send me from the Derby Museum the type 
of O. maculicollis for examination. It is said to have been 
obtained by Mr. Cuming in Malacca; but I think it just as 
probable that the real locality may ultimately turn out to be 
one of the Philippine Islands. It appears to be a distinct 
species; for although closely allied to O. sutorius, it differs in 
its blackish brown ear-coverts and sides of neck, which are 
distinctly and rather broadly streaked with white. The fol¬ 
lowing is a description of the type :— 
General colour above olive-green; wings brown, the least 
wing-coverts edged with olive-green, like the back, the greater 
series and quills with brownish olive; tail brown, undulated 
under certain lights, the feathers margined with olive-green; 
crown of head rufous, the occiput and hind neck rather ashy 
brown; feathers in front of and round the eye huffy whitish; 
ear-coverts and sides of neck blackish brown, with distinct 
longitudinal streaks of white; cheeks and under surface of 
body white, the throat purest, the breast somewhat tinged 
with buff; flanks dull olive ; sides of upper breast dark grey; 
under wing-coverts and edge of wing light buff, slightly washed 
with olive-yellow; quills below ashy brown, with a tawny buff 
edging along the inner web. Total length 4*3 inches, cul- 
men 0*55, wing 1’8, tail P7, tarsus 08.
