apparently replaced in the Irawadi delta, where the water is salt* 

 by A. meningting , H. amauropterus, and H. atricapillus. 



30. Ceryle rudis (L.). — More common about Ava than in 

 Pegu 



31. Buceros albirostris, Shaw. — Pegu generally; but not 

 seen in the Irawadi delta. I also obtained it near Ava. 



32. Buceros cavatus, L. — I obtained a head at Ava, which 

 had been brought from the neighbourhood. 



33. Buceros bicornis, L. — Common in the Arakan hills — 

 on the west side, at least, — and in the Irawadi delta. I did 

 not meet with it in Upper Pegu ; and it is so remarkable and 

 conspicuous a bird that I could not easily have overlooked it. 

 The sound of its wings, when flying, is audible at a great distance. 



34. Upupa longirostris, Jerdon. — Pegu generally. 



35. Petrocincla saxatilis (L.). — Upper Burma, on the banks 

 of the Irawadi near Ava. 



I am not aware that this bird has ever been recorded from 

 the plains of India, although it was obtained by Dr. Stoliczka in 

 Western Thibet. P. cnstaneicollis, Less., is identical, in Dr. 

 Stoliczka's opinion (J. A. S. B. 1868, xxxvii. p. 34). 



36. Petrocincla cyanea (L.). — Upper Burma. 



37. Copsychus macrurus (Gmel.). — Hills, Bassein district, 

 Pegu ; not common. 



38. Pratincola indica, Blyth. — Pegu. 



39. Pratincola leucura, Blyth. — Banks of Irawadi, near 

 Thayet Myo, and throughout Upper Burma. Common, and a 

 constant resident. Another instance of a bird from the dry 

 region of India recurring in Upper Burma. 



40. Oreicola jerdoni, Blyth, Ibis, 1867, p. 14 {Rhodophila 

 melanoleuca, Jerd.). — Obtained only once, in long elephant- 

 grass, in the northern portion of the Bassein district, Pegu. 



41. Henicurus immaculatus, Hodgs. — Arakan Hills. 



42. Dendrophila frontalis (Horsf.). — Arakan Hills, Bassein ; 

 common. 



43. Chatorhea gularis, Blyth. — Upper Burma. Found com- 

 monly about Thayet Myo, and still more abundantly in the dry 

 country above the British frontier. 



44. Chatorhea earlii, Blyth. — Banks of the Irawadi, in high 

 elephant-grass at Thayet Myo, and also near Ava.
