68. PSAROGLOSSA SPILOPTERA (Vig.). (261.) 



Bare. 



69. Criniger flaveolus (Gould). (263.) 



70. Hypsipetes concolor Blyth. (270.) 

 Very common. 



71. Cerasophila thompsoni Bingham^ Ann. & Mag Nat. 

 Hist. ser. 7, vol. v. p. 358. (270 a.) 



I obtained this bird for the first time in April 1899, at 

 an elevation of about 5300 feet. It is a species fond of that 

 kind of secondary jungle which springs up round cultivated 

 clearings. 



72. Hemixus tickelli (Blyth). (276.) 



This bird seems to vary very much in colour. When in 

 the Shan States, I was under the impression tliat I had 

 obtained both it and H. macclellandi (Horsf.), but found 

 on comparison with other specimens that all my skins were 

 nearest to those of tliis species. 



73. Alcurus striatus (Blyth). (277.) 



Very common above 6000 feet, on Loi Mai and Loi Maw, 

 and quite up to the tops of the highest peaks at about 8000 

 feet. It prefers tree-jungle, but the trees must not be too 

 high or very dense. 



74. MoLPASTES ATRicAPiLLUs (Vieill.). (281.) 



75. Xanthixus flavescens (Blyth). (287.) 

 Very common. 



7Q. Otocompsa emeria (Linn.). (288.) 



Very common ; this and one or two other kinds of Bulbul 

 have discovered that strawberries are good to eat, and they 

 are now a great nuisance in the gardens. 



77. Otocompsa flaviventris (Tick.). (290.) 



78. Spizixus canifrons Blyth. (292.) 

 Very common at 5000 feet and upwards. 



79. loLE viREscENS Blyth. (296.) 



Fairly common, but I did not meet with it above about 

 3500 feet.
