458 Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay's Notes 



131. YUNX TORQUILLA. 



Arrives in October, and remains throughout the cold season, 

 both in the hills and plains. 



135. CUCULUS CANORUS. 



The European Cuckoo is abundant on the open tableland 

 of Karen-neCj but, as far as I know, does not occur in the 

 plains. Mr. Hume, however, has received it from Prome 

 (S. F. iii. 78). 



138. Cacomantis rufiventris. 



The Rufous-bellied Cuckoo is a very common bird in the 

 plains and at moderate elevations in the hills. In Karen-nee it 

 is especially abundant. In nearly every garden in Tonghoo 

 a pair of these birds are to be found. The note is a long 

 mournful whistle, which is kept up throughout the day and 

 sometimes the greater part of the night. 



140. Chrysococcyx maculatus. 



A specimen obtained in the Karen hills at 4200 feet has 

 the whole throat, neck, and part of the breast uniform emerald- 

 green like the back. 



141. Chrysococcyx xanthorhynchus. 



Ins lake-red. Bill dull orange, reddish at base and gape. 

 The rim round the eye vermilion. Legs dull olive-green, 



Karen-nee, 1600 feet, March 1874 ; this locality is not 

 given in Blyth's catalogue, 



144. COCCYSTES JACOBINUS, 



Does not occur as far as I know to the eastward of the Pegu 

 Yoma range. 



169, Macropteryx coronatus. 



The following is a description of a young bird shot uear 

 Tonghoo : — Plumage above shining dark green, with a faint 

 trace of ashy on the head and back ; primaries tipped Avith 

 white ; tertiaries greyish, broadly tipped with white ; throat,

 the neck ferruginous; crest dark bottle-green, tipped with
