464 Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay^s Notes 



saw or shot G. belangeri or G. moniliger. I have not observed 

 the former to the eastward of the Tonghoo hills. I obtained 

 a nest of fledglings in March in Karen-nee. 



316. Trochalopteron melanostigma. 

 Trochalopteron melanostigma, Blyth^, J. A. S. B. xxiv. p. 268. 

 This bird was very abundant in Karen-nee at 5000 feet. 



A native bird-catcher snared more than a dozen for me one 

 day in a few hours, besides specimens of Turdus sibir'icus, T. 

 pallidus, Oreocincla molUssima, and Sibia picaioides, using as 

 his bait the larvse of some insect. In some specimens the 

 ferruginous-chestnut-colour of the throat and breast is con- 

 tinued over the whole of the lower surface. 



317. AcTiNURA RAMSAYi. (Plate XII.) 



Actinura ramsayi, Walden, Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, xv. 

 p. 402. 



I found this bird frequenting the jungle-covered mountain- 

 streams in the open country of Karen-nee, at an elevation 

 of about 3000 feet ; but I did not subsequently meet with it. 



325. LlOPTILA SATURATA. 



Leioptila saturata, Walden, Ibis, 1875, p. 352. 



Only observed at between 5000 and 60C0 feet in Karen-nee. 



328. LlOTHRIX STRIGULA. 



Obtained on Nat-toung, about 40 miles north-east of Shuay- 

 gyeen, at an elevation of 7000 feet, in April. 



320. LlOTHRIX ARGENTAURIS. 



I found the Silver-eared Hill-Tit very common in the Karen 

 hills at a height of 2000 feet and upwards, generally dodging 

 about in low scrub-jungle, but sometimes jumping about on 

 trees, like the true Tits. 



I have always found that the females differ from the males, 

 as stated by Hodgson {conf. Jerd. ii. p. 252) in having the 

 upper tail-coverts yellowish brown instead of red. 



339. Melanochlora sultanea. 



On one occasion, whilst trying to secure a wounded female 

 of this species which was fluttering over the ground, I was
