On the new Palcearctic Goose. 5 



25. Merops viRiDis, Linn. 



The first bird of this species seen by me at Kalaw I shot 

 on the 22nd May. Two days later I saw about a dozen. 

 I was then leaving. 



26. Upupa indica, Reich. 

 One specimen. 



27. Caprimulgus macrurus^ Horsf. 



Very common ; it may be heard calling at any time during 

 the night. 



28. Hierococcyx sparverioides (Vig.). 



29. Ehopodytes tristis (Less.). 



30. Pal.eornis torquatus (Bodd.). 



31. Pal^ornis finschi^ Hume. 



32. MiLvus GoviNDA^ Sykcs. 



I saw one Vulture, but did not get a specimen of it. 



33. Turtur tigrinus (Temm. & Knip). 



34. Phasianus humi^, Hume. 



I obtained only one male and one female of this handsome 

 Pheasant. The female was shot after a long run up the side 

 of a hill. When first seen she was picking about in a small 

 valley between two pine-clad slopes. The male was got 

 more easily in a rocky valley with a good deal of under- 

 growth, chiefly bamboo. A man was sent round towards 

 the head of the valley with orders to walk slowly down 

 towards me. The Pheasant, which had been seen to go into 

 a thick clump, presently walked out and was immediately 

 shot. The skins of both were preserved.
