ANIMAL AND PLANT LIFE. 159 
8. Ketwpa zeylonensis. Heard at Muppane, Liyangolla, but 
only near places where there was water. 
9. Huhwa nepalensis. At Panawa I heard the cry of what I 
believe to be this, but I include it doubtfully. 
10. Scops giu. Heard at Siyambala-anduwa. 
ll. S. bakkamuna. Heard at Danakirigalla, Ellebubbura, 
Muduwa, and Kumuna. I think there is no doubt about this 
being bakkamuna, though I did not actually obtain one. 
12. Glaucidiwn. I heard these owls repeatedly at Panawa, 
Bargura, Danakirigalla, Ellebubbura, Muduwa, and Moramal- 
pokunna, but unfortunately obtained none so as to determine the 
species, but judging by the note I believe the birds I heard were 
Castanonotum. 
13. Palxornis eupatria. Distinctly scarce. Occur in the 
valley of the Kumbukkan. 
14. P. torquatus. Kumbukkan valley, Uva _ boundary, 
Siyambala-anduwa, Manawela, Ellebubbura, and Liyangolla. 
15. P. calthrope. Common at Danakirigalla, some at Liyan- 
golla, Muduwa, and Panawa. 
16. Loriculus indicus. Seen at the Uva boundary near 
Siyambala-anduwa, and heard in the Kumbukkan valley. 
17. Lyngipicus gymnophthalmus. I obtained two at Siyam- 
bala-anduwa. Common at Ellebubbura, Ampitiya, Kitulana, 
Kumuna, and east of Panawa. My examples are both Y, and 
measure :— 
(a) Length 4°75 in., tail 1:50 in., wing 3 in,, bill °54 in, 
tarsus °50 in. 
(6) Length 5:00 in., tail 1°50 in., wing 3 in., bill +50 in., 
tarsus * 50 in. 
18. Chrysocolaptes stricklandi. Plentifulat Lahugala. Occurs 
at Kurapan-oya, in Kumbukkan valley, Heda-oya valley, Dana- 
kirigalla, Ellebubbura, Ampitiya, and Etmole. 
19. Brachypternus. I obtained, while going up the valley of 
the-Kumbukkan river, what I have referred to in the text as 
possibly a new species belonging to this genus. The short, or I 
should say rudimentary, inner hind toe is particularly striking. 
20. B. erythronotus. Valley of the Kumbukkan, Panawa, 
and Bargura. 
21. Thereiceryx zeylonicus. Occurs at Lahugala, Panawa, 
Kurapan-oya, Okanda, Kumuna, valley of the Kumbukkan, 
Bowela, and round ‘‘ Westminster Abbey.” 
22. Cyanops flavifrons. Not particularly common. Found 
near Degalhela, Ellebubbura, Lahugala, Panawa, Okanda, 
Kumuna. Plentiful near Monaragala. 
23. Xantholema rubricapilla. Common all over the Vedda 
country. 
24. Cuculus sonnerati. Observed in the valley of the Kum- 
bukkan river. 
25. Coccystes jacobinus. Not seen east of Muppane, where it 
is plentiful.
