[45]. Oriolus melanocephalus: The Black-headed Oriole. (F. 521), (J. 472 and 473), (-III.)
Very much like the last species, but is distinguishable by having the whole head, chin, throat, and upper breast black.
Not found in the Punjab, or N.W. F. P., or in the Himalayas. (Illus. G. B., p. 16; also I. F., p. 128.)
The Grackles, or Hill Mynas, 46 and 47
As these birds are almost exclusively confined to hilly and well-wooded regions they can scarcely be numbered among the common birds of the plains of India; but as they are so very frequently seen in cages, I mention them.
They are larger than the common myna, but have a much shorter tail. They are glossy black birds with a conspicuous white wing bar. Beak orange-yellow, legs pale yellow. Their most conspicuous feature is the pair of yellow wattles.

Found only in S. India.
[47]. Eulabes intermedia: The Indian Grackle. (F. 524), (J. 693), (+III.)
Found in the Himalayas and C. P.
