CRINIGER BURMANICUS Gates 



Criniger hurmanicus Gates, The fauna of British India, Birds, vol. 1, p. 256, 

 1889 (Lower Burma). 



Recorded by Cliasen and Kloss/^ from the Raheng District, from 

 where it had previously been recorded by Barton. 



One of the specimens recorded by Chasen and K!loss was later 

 acquired by the United States National Museum through Dr. W. L. 

 Abbott. It is not a form of tephrogenys, as they say, but a distinct 

 species, related to flaveoius of the Himalayas and bartelsi of Java. 



The Raheng specimen is a female and very peculiar. The crest is 

 unusually long; the throat and jugulum are white; the ear coverts, 

 lores, forehead, and pileum are white with a slight brownish wash, the 

 white showing through; the crest feathers drab ; lightly tipped with cit- 

 rine; back citrine; upper tailcoverts a little lighter than the tail; tail 

 brussels brown; breast, belly, and under wing coverts lemon-yellow; 

 closed wing dresden brown with a yellowish wash; wing, 100 mm. 

 There are some long hairlike feathers springing from the upper back, 

 but specimens of bartelsi also have them. 



A specimen oi jlamolus resembles burmanicus in color, but crest is 

 not so long and is of an entirely different color, dresden brown. C. 

 hurmanicus gives the impression of having an almost white head. 



The range of C. burmanlcus is the hills east of the Salwin from 

 Yametkin to Moulmein in Tenasserim eastward into western Siam. 



Lowe ^° reports finding it quite plentiful 30 miles east of Umpang.
