81. SiTTA NEGLECTA Wald. (317.) 



8.2. SiTTA NAGAENsis Godw.-Aust. (318.) 



Common from 4000 feet upwards. It is by no means 

 exclusively a tree bird ; it hunts over rocks and the sides of 

 old cuttings as well as on trees. 



83. SiTTA MAGNA Wardlaw-Ramsay. (319.) 



I have shot this bird at Kalaw and at Loi Maw, and have 

 one specimen from Tounggyi. I have never met with it 

 far from pine-forest. 



84. SiTTA FRONTALIS Horsf. (325.) 

 Common from 3000 to 6000 feet. 



85. DicRURus ANNECTENs (Hodgs.). (326.) 



I have not met with this or the next species in the numbers 

 ■which are sometimes seen in the plains. The next is that 

 ordinarily seen. 



86. DicRURus ATER (Herm.). (327.) 



87. DicRURus ciNERACEus (Horsf.). (333.) 



The common form of Drongo from 4000 feet upwards. 

 Breeds from the beginning of April. Young birds just able 

 to fly from tree to tree (about 6 or 7 yards) were very dark 

 ashy grey. 



88. Chaptia AiiNEA (Vieill.). (334.) 

 Fairly common. 



89. Bhringa remifer (Temm.). (339.) 



One of those birds more commonly seen than obtained. 



90. Certhia discolor Blyth. (345.) 



Very common above 5000 feet, upon some half-cleared 

 slopes on Loi Mai. I had to give orders that this bird was 

 not to be shot within a very few days of my first meeting 

 with it. 



91. Pnoepyga pusilla Hodgs. (357.) 



Only met with twice, each time at about 5300 feet.
