    *475. P. hodgsoni (J. 4G5). P. hodgsoni, Gould, B. As. pt. xiii. pi. 8. Hgncl-seing (generic). Arakan; also obtained by Mr. W. T. Blanford seventy miles above Ava* [Rangoon, Tonghoo, Ycy-tlio, Thayet Myo, Karen nee {W. B.). The continental species seems to have been separated from the Sumatran, on in¬ sufficient evidence. The Malaccan form is considerably smaller.] *476. P. CHLOROCEPHALTJS. P. chloroccphalus, Walden, Ann. M. N. H. (4), 1871, vol. vii. 241; Turdua cochm- chinensis, Gm. (P). Arakan, Tenasserim; has been obtained also on the Garo hills. [Tonghoo, Karen nee, at 1600 feet (TT. A.).] *477. P. HARDWICKII (J. 466). Chloropsis hardwickii, Jard. and Selby ; Gould, B. As. pt. xiii. pi. 7. Arakan, Tenasserim mountains. P. lazulina, Swinhoe, of Hainan, is barely separable. [Tonghoo hills, Karen hills, from 3500 to 4000 feet (IF. B.). P. lazu¬ lina has the shoulder patch coloured like the moustache, and the crown cinereous green.] *478. IORA 1AFRESNAYI1. Iora lafremayii, Hartlaub, Rev. Zool. 1844, p. 401; Mag. de Zool. 1845, t. 60; Stoliczka, J. A. S. B. xxxix. pt. ii. p. 309 ; ? I. innotata, nobis, J. A. S. B. xvi. p. 472. Arakan, Malacca. Apparently of rare occurrence. [.Pluenicomanes iora, Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 427, pi. 54, is synony¬ mous. As long since pointed out (Ibis, 1866, p. 317), if Sylvia leucoptera, Vieill., is a species of Iora, and there can be but little doubt that it is, Vieillot’s generic title of JEgithina must supersede Horsfield’s.] *479. I. typhia (J. 468). I. typhia. Ibis, 1867, p. 10. Indo-Chinese countries generally, Malayan peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. Throughout this range of distribution it never shows the black upper parts of I. zeylonica, but there co-exists with it in the Malay countries, the 1. scapularis, Horsfield, the male of which is I. viridissima, Temminck. [Rangoon, Tonghoo, Karen nee (W. B.). Javan I. scapularis, ?, is certainly not separable from I. typhia, ? ; the bill however is shorter. I.
