been discovered by him ; and many sjiccies not known to pos- 

 sess so extended a range have, through his exertions, been 

 added to the Burman avifauna. The researches of all the 

 gentlemen I have named enabled me to considerably extend 

 the list of Burman species as left by Mr. Blyth, and to raise 

 the number of actually known species to about 660. Since 

 the last sheet of this revised list was in the hands of the 

 printers, another large collection, made in the Tonghoo and 

 Karen hills by Lieutenant W. Ramsay, has reached me, con- 

 taining some more species new to Burma. Upon these I 

 desire to offer a few remarks. 



In the Karen hills Lieutenant W. Ramsay had already dis- 

 covered a number of Himalayan forms, such as Batracho- 

 stomus hodgsoni, two species of the genus Niltava, Neornis 

 assimilis, a new species of Actinura, Sibia picaoides, Cutia 

 nipalensis, a species of Lioptila, several species of Liothrix 

 and affined genera, also of Stachyrhis, Orthotomus coronatics, 

 two species of Paradoxornis, and Saraglossa sp'iloptera. He 

 has also discovered the following species : — 



Macropygia leptogrammica (Temm.) = M. tusalia (Hodg- 

 son) . One example was obtained on the Karen hills at 4000 

 feet elevation ; another on the Tonghoo mountains at 3500 

 feet. These and Himalayan individuals (^J) are certainly 

 not separable from the Javan ( ^ ) form. With Javau female 

 birds I have not been able to institute a comparison. Pro- 

 fessor Schlegel seems, on the other hand, not to have had 

 Himalayan females to compare with Javan (Mus. des P.-Bas, 

 Columba, p. 108). 



DucuLA GRisEicAPiLLA, uobis, Auu. & M, N. PL (4) vol. xvi. 

 p. 228 (Sept. 1, lb75), is a species distinct from, though 

 nearly allied to, Z>. insigais and D. badia, discovered on the 

 Karen hills at an elevation of from 4000 to 4200 feet. The 

 distinctive character of the Tenasserim bird was mentioned 

 by Mr. Blyth (J. A. S. B. xxviii. p. 416) ; but he does not 

 appear to have ever named the species. 



Arborophila brunneipjsctus (Blyth). Several examples 

 of this Wood-Partridge have been recently obtained by Lieu-
