of t lie Southern Shan Slates. 545 



200. Oreocincla dauma (Lath.). (698.) 



I have not met with this bird below about 5000 feet. It 

 appears to have the same habits as 0. dixoni ; they frequent 

 the hill-sides up to 8000 feet where these are bare except for 

 high trees and dead leaves. 



201. Oreocincla VARiA (Pall.). (698 a.) 



Obtained once only, in the hills immediately to the east 

 of Fort Stedman at about 5000 feet. 



202. Oreocincla dixoni (Swinh.). (702.) 



, 203. ZooTHERA marginata BIyth. (705.) 



Met with on the same kind of ground as O. dauma and 

 O. dixoni, but down to 3000 feet. 



204. CiNCLUs pallasi Temm. (710.) 



I have never seen this bird alive. Mr. H. N. Thompson, 

 of the Forest Department, was good enough to send me a 

 skin which he had obtained at the i\Iese-gun stream in the 

 Mawkraai State, trans-Salween. 



205. Ploceus megarhynchus Hume. (721.) 

 Fairly common on and about the Fort Stedman lake. 



206. Ploceus manyar (llorsf.). (723.) 



This species simply swarms on the Fort Stedman lake ; 

 enormous flocks may be seen at any time of year. 



207. MuNiA ATRicAPiLLA (Vicill.). (726.) 

 Very common from 3000 to 4000 feet. 



208. Uroloncha acuticauda (Hodgs.). (727.) 

 Common. 



209. Uroloncha topela (Swinh.). (735 a.) 



I had identified the specimens I obtained as U. punctulata 

 (Linn.), but I subsequently found on comparison with others 

 in the Nat. Hist. Museum that they were all of this species, 

 which has not, I believe, been recorded within Indian limits 

 before. 



210. Spor.^gitvthus flavidiventris (Wallace). (739.) 

 Fairly common up to 4000 feet.
