of the Southern Shan States. 553 



309. Pal^ornis ROSA (Bodd.). (1140.) 



310. Pal.eornis finschi Hume. (1142.) 



This is the common Paroquet of the Southern Shan 

 States. 



311. Strix flammea Linn. (1152.) 



Not uncommon, I believe, but I have never collected Owls 

 very energetically. 



312. Asio AcciPiTRiNUs (Pall.). (1157.) 



Among the skins sent to me by Mr. H. N. Thompson 

 there was one labelled "Grass-Owl." On comparing it 

 with skins in the Nat, Hist. Museum, I found it to be of 

 this species. 



313. Ketupa zeylonensis (Gmel.). (1166.) 

 Obtained at 5300 feet. 



314. Scops giu (Scop.), var. sunia Hodgs. (1173.) 

 Common. 



315. Scops bakkam(ena (Penn.), var. lettia Hodgs. 

 (1178.) 



316. Athene brama (Temm.). (1180.) 



317. Pandion haliaetus (Linn.). (1189.) 

 Not uncommon on the Fort Stedman lake. 



I took very few specimens of Accipitres or of any other 

 large birds to England. When travelling in the Shan States 

 the only transport generally obtainable is that by mules and 

 bullocks; hence if skins of large birds are not sent to a 

 station immediately they are procured, they are apt to be 

 damaged. With the exception of the two Vultures, I have 

 included in this list only those birds of which I have actually 

 handled specimens. 



318. Gyps tenuirostris Hodgs. (1195.) 



319. PsEUDOGYPs BENGALENsis (Gmel.). (1196.) 



The common Vulture of the Shan States. All the 

 Vultures seem to leave the district in the rainy season.
