This is much more common in the Talleys of Western Yunnan than the preceding
species s however, it becomes rare in the elevated valley of Momien, which may
he due in part to the absence of forest, as well as to the almost temperate character
of the climate.

Dr. Jerdon observes that the chestnut birds can always he recognised by the
absence of the rich glossy black neck and throat of T. pcvradisi, but this is not invariably
the case, for I have specimens of that species before me from the Botanical
Garden, Calcutta, and Chanda, Central India, in which the neck, instead of being
glossy black, .is dark-ashy, as in T. affinis.
