Lord Waldeu on Birds from Banna. 463 



List of Javaii species not kuown to occur in Malacca or 

 in Sumatra, but found in Burma : — 



Butastur liventer. Harpactes orescius. 



Dendrotypes anulis. Crypsirhina varians. 



Henicurus leschenaulti {fide Hume). 



Dendrophila frontalis. 



Timelia bengalensis (representative form). 



Megalurus palustris. Bhringa remifer. 



Hyloterpe grisola. 



Biichanga intermedia (representative form) . 



Buchanga atra (representative form) . 



Macropygia leptogrammica. Pavo muticus. 



Besides the many Himalayan forms already noted, which 

 Lieutenant W. Ramsay bad enabled me to add to the list of 

 Burman birds, are several wbicb have hitherto been ranked as 

 peculiarly belonging to China or else Siam. Such, for in- 

 stance, are Gecinus erythropygius, Mthopyga dabrii, Pycno- 

 notus atricapillus , Acridotheres siamefisis, and Parus com- 

 mixtus. 



The word Burma cannot, however, in any sense be used to 

 express a well-defined zoological province or subprovince. In 

 Mr. Blyth's list it is employed for all those regions which 

 formerly constituted the Burman empire, three of which, 

 within the last fifty years, have been ceded to Great Britain 

 (namely, Arakan, Tenasserim, and Pegu). It is bordered by 

 countries possessing ornithological features more or less pe- 

 culiar ; and where the Burman territory comes in contact with 

 any one of these countries, it is, as might be supposed, more 

 or less peopled by their characteristic forms. But the pre- 

 sence of peculiar Javan forms, unknown in Malacca or Su- 

 matra, if it be a fact, is a marked characteristic, which can- 

 not be accounted for by contact of present boundaries.
