A SHORT LIST OF BiRDS FROM THE 
RAHENG DISTRICT. 
By C. 8. BARTON. 
The majority of the 57 birds shown in this list are from the Me 
Taw (an nf) forest, due east of Raheng Town, but J have included 
a few from further south and west. 
Me Taw is a fair sized forest, drained by the Me Taw creek 
which rises in the hills between the Me Ping and Toungyin 
valleys. The altitude varies from 400 feet near the Me Ping to 4,000 
feet in the higher hills. There are several types of forest, including 
evergreen, fir, pure bamboo, ordinary mixed tree jungle, and ‘“ paa” 
or laterite jungle (an LWe ). 
I have identified the birds from the Fauna of British India, 
Birds. A great many of the species have already been recorded from 
‘Tenasserim and the Thoungyin valley, The numbers in biachets are 
those of the Fauna of British India.
