3G4 BURMA, ITS PEOPLE AXD PRODUCTIOXS. 



Several species have been discriminated, which seem to have a certain geo- 

 graphical range: G. hmgirostrist, Bl., from Kashmir and Afghanistan, identical with 

 the European bird. C. pandoo, Tytler, from Western and Southern India; C.affinis, 

 BL. from Sikkim, Bengal and Burnui ; and C. Maiiilh-nsis, auct., from China and the 

 Philippines. Hume inclines to the view that in Ci/anocincia, as in Tora, wliilst the 

 females exhibit little variation, the males differ greatly with locality, whence the 

 solitaria of the present bird (S.F. vi. p. 247). 



This is au abundant cold weather visitant, and a \iirj tame and familiar bird. 



Okocetes eetthkogastee, Yig. Karen-ni. 



0. ciNCLOBHTNCHus, Vig. Arakan. 



Geocichla ciTRiJfA, Lath. Arakan. Pegu. Tonasserim. 



G. ALBOGULAEis, Blytli. Andauiaus. iSicobars. 



G. ixxoTATA, Blyth. Burma. 



Hume considers these last two birds as distinct. They are not improbably local 

 races of Citrina. 



MoNTicoLA sAXATiLis, L. Upper Burma. 



Tfedus obscueus, Guiel. Khasi Hills. Arakan. Pegu. Java. 



Tenasserim. Audamans. N.E. Asia. 

 A cold weather visitant. 



T. p.iLLiDns, Gmel. Karen-ni and Moolcyit, at 5000 feet. 



T. nifulus, Drap. Andamans. 



A rare cold weather straggler. 



T. SiBiEicrs, Pall. Karen-ni, Mooleyit 2500 to 6000. 



A rare cold weather straggler. 



Oreocincxa mollissima, Blyth. Karen-ni at 5000. 



0. DAUMA, Lath. Karen-ni at 5000 feet. Mooleyit. 



A rare cold weather straggler. 



0. iNi'EAii.utGLN'ATA, Blytli. Andamans. 



Famihj Timaliidse. 



Paeadoxoenis gttlaeis, Horsf. Karen-ni, at 5600 feet. 



P. euficeps, Blyth. Sikkim. Kliasi Hills. Arakan. 



SuTHOEA bkunnea, Anderson. Momien. Ynnan. 



S. MD.Niri'EENSis, God.-Aust. 

 S. Diiflaensis, God.-Aust. 



A species of Suthora was noticed at Mooleyit, which Hume thinks may perhaps 

 he this species. 



Gajipsoeehynchus eufcxus, Blyth. Nipal. Sikkim. Arakan. Karen-ni. 



G. torqiiatus, Hume. 



Torquatm is of course the Burmese race, witli trivial variations which have led 

 to its specific separation. 



Ptctoeis Sinensis, Gmel. Arakan. Pegu. Martaban. Karen-ni. 



P. AiBiROSTEis, Jerdon. Thayetmyo. 



This species has not been recognized since its discovery by Jerdon. Hume 

 thinks it is identical with the last, to which indeed its describer likened it, whilst 

 noting a difference in the bill an<l its approacli to Pnradoxornis. In other instances, 

 it may be added, Mr. Hume exhiliits an impatience with other men's species, not on 

 the intelligible ground, that we have too many shadowy species already, but because 

 (as it would seem) neitluir he nor Davison have come across them, and they are not in 

 conseiiueuce ' hall-marked ' in S.P.
