162 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
67. P.hemorrhus. Common right to the sea. 
68. Chloropsis jerdoni. Very scarce ; only near Monaragala 
hills and at Pottuvil. 
69. <Algithina tiphia. Not very common, Seen near coast 
line. 
70. Orateropus. Common down the coast, but comparatively 
rare towards Siyambala-anduwa. I found a few at Bowela and 
towards Buddama. 
71. Pomatorhinus melanurus. Heard at Panawa, Himitillane- 
galla, round ‘‘ Westminster Abbey ” and Muduwa, but not in the 
Kumbukkan valley. 
72. Alecippe nigrifrons. Common at Lahugala, Kumuna 
Breeding near Panawa and on summit of ‘* Westminster Abbey,” 
extending south to the Kumbukkan valley. 
73. Pellorneum fuscicapillum. Common, but the birds from 
the region under consideration are distinctly paler than those 
from the wet districts. 
74. Orthotomus sutorius. Common everywhere right down 
to the sea-side. 
75. Prinia valida. Seen at Bowela, and in a piece of grass 
land at Karane. Heard at Lahugala and Okanda. 
76. Drymeca insularis. (I am retaining Legge’s species and 
name.) Seen only in the park lands south of Etmole. 
77. Cisticola cursitans. Only seen at Newgalla in an aban- 
doned field and at Panawa. 
78. Citta frontalis. Heard at Siyambala-anduwa. 
79. Cinnyris lotenius. Seen at Wattegama, Siyambala- 
anduwa, Pottuvil, down the coast to the Kumbukkan. 
80. C. zeylonicus. Seen all down the coast from Panawa, 
but few only observed near ‘‘ Westminster Abbey.” 
81. Diceuwm erythrorhynchum. Seen at Lahugala, Ketulana, 
Pottuvil to Kumuna, but becoming distinctly scarce between the 
Kumbukkan valley and Monaragala. 
82. Zosterops palpebrosa. Heard at Siyambala-anduwa. 
83. Hirundo hyperythra. Common. I found its nest at 
Kebilitte. It is quite plentiful at Okanda. 
84. Passer domesticus. Not generally common. I found it 
at Pottuvil, Panawa, Okanda, but not at Kumuna, on the coast ; 
again at Bowela and Nambanna (few), while it is plentiful at 
Etmole and Muppane. 
85. Alauda gulqula. Common. 
86. Ploceus baya. Near Okanda I found several trees in 
which the familiar pendulous nests were in abundance, but in all 
cases these were last year’s work. I looked in vain for this bird 
in the northern part of the Wedirata, where I suspect it occurs 
when the rice fields are in cultivation, but as that 1s not of regular 
occurrence, I assume that a local migration takes place. 
87. P. manyar. I found this species at Lahugala, where, the 
tank being full all the year round, both rushes and sedges are 
available for nesting in. 
88. Uroloncha kelaarti. Occurs near Monaragala, but I have 
no notes of it eastward of that place.
