1308. Turtur tigrinus — Tha Malay Spotted Dove. 



— Turtur xanthocyclus, Newman, Agricultural Mag., 1906, p. 321. 



— The Burmese Ring-Dove. 



The Burmese Ring-Dove has been separated from its Indian ally by reason 

 of the broad yellow ring of bare skin round the eye, this ring being of smaller 

 extent and of a whitish colour in the Indian bird ( r. risorious). 



Some Doves of this species were taken home by Mr. W. G. Bligh from Upper 

 Burma, and they lived in the Zoological Gardens of London for a considerable 

 time. 



1311. CEnopopelia tranquebarica. — The Red Turtle-Dove. 



1312. Macropygia tusalia. — The Bar-tailed Cuckoo-Dove. 

 Procured in the Lower Chindwin. 



— Genn^eus williamsi, Oates, Game Birds of India, i., p. 342 (1898) 



— Williams's Silver Pheasant. 



This well marked species occurs over the greater part of the Upper and 

 Lower Chindwin, up to about 3,000 feet of elevation. Some forty specimens 

 were obtained. 



The adult male measures about 25'5 inches in length, of which the tail 

 measures 11*5 inches. The wing measures about 95 inches. Young males 

 have the tail almost straight and measuring only 8*5 inches, and the wing 8*3 

 inches. The females are about 22 inches in length ; the tail measures from 8 

 to 8*5 inches and the wing varies from 8 to 8'5 inches. 

 1355. Coturnix communis — The Grey Quail. 



One specimen shot at Yu-wa. 

 — Coturnix japonica. — The Japanese Quail. 



Two specimens were obtained at Yu-wa. There should be little difficulty in 

 discriminating between this species and the Grey Quail. In the adult male of 

 the Japanese Quail, the chin, throat and cheeks are uniform brick-red, some- 

 times with a central blackish throat-stripe. This stripe, I think, characterizes 

 the very old male.
