can, called by the same Burmese name, which I have not 

 met with in these Provinces. It has the long tail feathers 

 of the preceding species, but the stem takes only half a 

 turn, so that " the barbed tips remain vertical to the axis 

 of the body."

king crow. 

 The king crow is a small black bird, resembling the 

 preceding, but without the tail feathers. It derives its 

 English name from its bravery in chasing away the crows. 

 Both the Burmese and Karens often call the edolius 

 by the same name that they do this bird. A specimen 

 that I sent Mr. Blyth, he wrote was

 Provinces.

ARRACAN KING CROW. 



Arracan has another king crow with " its outermost 

 tail feathers very much twisted o\er, forming a singular 

 ornament"
