460 Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay's Notes 



after all, may have been shot iu the Thyetmyo district, where 

 it is very common ; for Major Lloyd had natives collecting 

 in several parts of Burma. 



180. Garrulus leucotis. 



Garrulus leucotis, Hume, P. A. S. B. 1874, p. 106. 



This beautiful species is a common bird in both the hills 

 and the plains of the Tonghoo district. I first met with it 

 in Karen-nee, not far from the Salween river, at an elevation 

 of about 3500 feet, 100 miles north of where it was first dis- 

 covered by Mr. Davison. 



178. Urocissa magnirostris. 



Psilorhinus magnirostris, Blyth (J. A. S. B. 1846, p. 27). 



I have compared a very large series of this bird from 

 Burma with nearly as large a series from the Himalayas. 

 Although many of the Burmese specimens have the enormous 

 bill on which Blyth chiefly founded the species, several fine 

 specimens from exactly the same localities have the bill quite 

 as small, if not smaller than Himalayan examples. 



The only constant point of difl:erence between the Burmese 

 and Indian bu'ds is in the colouring of the bill, feet, and irides, 

 as pointed out by Mr. Hume on Captain Feilden's authority 

 (S. F. iii. p. 145). 



Mr. Blyth, in his original description of U. magnirostris, 

 states that it has the wing more richly coloured than U. occi- 

 pitalis ; but I have seen a good specimen of the latter bird 

 with plumage in all respects as -fine as the best of my Bur- 

 mese skins. 



181. EULABES INTERMEDIA. 



Very common in the Tonghoo district, extending far into 

 the plains. Mr. Hume says that Mr, Gates (S. F. iii.p. 152) 

 doubts whether it occurs in the plains on the Thyetmyo 

 side. 



186. ACRIDOTHERES SIAMENSIS. 



Acridotheres siamensis, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 303. 

 This is the only representative of the genus that 1 found 

 on the Karen-nee plateau.
