556 Lt.-Col. (t. Rippon on the Birds 



350. Pavo muticus Linn. (1325.) 



This bird occurs in parties or colonies. Wherever 

 such are found there seem to be a good number of individuals, 

 but no more will be seen for some 20 or 30 miles, 

 although the intervening ground may appear equally suit- 

 able. 



351. Gallus ferrugineus (Gmel.). (1328.) 

 Common up to about 3500 feet. 



352. Phasianus burmanicus Gates. (1331 a.) 



I have not met with this species except in comparatively 

 thin jungle on dry hill-sides. The following are the localities 

 in which I have obtained it : — Kalaw ; the hills immediately 

 behind, i. e. to the east of, Fort Stedman ; and the western 

 slopes of Loi Maw. 



353. Genn^us lineatus (Vig.). (1340.) 

 At low elevations only. 



354. Genn^us ANDERsoNi (Elliot). (1341.) 



I enter the specimens I obtained under this heading, but 

 T am by no means completely satisfied that I am correct. 

 Two of them are over 40 inches long. 



In the 'Fauna of British India: Birds,' page 95, the 

 length of the female of G. nycthemerus is given as 20 inches, 

 probably by a misprint. 



355. Bambusicola fytchi Anderson. (1352.) 



Very local ; where found it appears to be fairly plentiful. 



356. ExcALFACTORiA SINENSIS (Linn.). (1354.) 



Twice killed in the course of a day's shooting at Loikaw 

 in December, but not again met with. 



357. CoTURNix coROMANDELicA (Gmcl.). (1356.) 

 Fairly common ; it breeds at 4000 feet in the rainy season. 



358. CoTURNix JAPONiCA Temm. & Schleg. (1356 a.) 

 One specimen which I took to England was identified as 



belonging to this species. 



359. Arboricola rufigularis Blyth. (1363.) 

 Very common in places which it likes.
