The voice of this Crow is markedly distinct from that of C. splendens, and as its
characteristic coloration is apparently persistent, Mr. Hume has separated it specifically
from the Indian form, to which, however, it is closely allied.
I t extends northwards from Rangoon to Bhamô, and at the latter place I found
it associated with C. levaillcmti, but less numerous. I t does not, however, reach
the high country to the east, and I did not observe it in the Kakhyen hills.
