Vol. I. p. 286. Add the species described in the footnote : 298 a. 

 Pycnonotus xanthorrhous, Anderson's Bulbul, with the addi- 

 tional references: Rippon, Ibis, 1896, p. 359; Gates, Jour. Bom. 

 N. H. Soc. x, p. 110. This species has now been found at the 

 Ruby Mines, Kalaw in the Southern Shan States, and in Karenuee. 



Vol. I, p. 295. Mr. Baker (Jour. Bom. N. H. Soc. viii, p. 7) suggests that 

 No. 311, Micropus cinereiventris, may be the female of No. 310, 

 M. melanocephalus. Lord Walden in Blyth's ' Birds of Burma,' 

 p. 136, doubted whether the two species were distinct, and Hume, 

 S. F. vi, p. 319, observed that M. melanocephalus skins may be 

 converted into M . cinercicentris by carbolic acid. 



Vol. I, p. 339. No. 353, Elachura punctata figured, Ibis, 1892, pi. ii, 

 tig. 2. Add a new species : 



353 a. Elachura haplonota. The Plain Brown Wren. 

 Elachura haplonota, E. C. S. Baker, Ibis, 1892, p. 62, pi. ii, fig. 1 ; 



id. Jour. Bom. N. H. Soc. vii, p. 319. 

 Elachura immaculata, Baker, Jour. Bom. N. H. Soc. vii, pi. opposite 



p. 319 (1893). 



Whole upper plumage dark umber-brown, rather lighter on the rump 

 and tail-coverts, the feathers obsoletely edged with rather pale sienna- 

 brown, quills dark cinnamon-brown on the exposed parts ; tail brown, 

 tinged with cinnamon-red ; chin and throat white, tinged with fulvous, 

 and the feathers, except in the centre, tipped with dusky ; breast and 

 sides of neck fulvous brown, the feathers tipped with brown and sub- 

 tipped with white ; centre of abdomen white ; flanks and under tail- 

 coverts fulvous brown, some of the feathers of the former tipped with 

 white. Bill dark horny ; irides red ; legs sanguineous fleshy. Length 4'15 ; 

 tail 1-53; wing 1-95; tarsus '6; bill' from gape '52. (Baker ; slightly 

 abridged from original.) 



This Wren is easily distinguished from E. punctata by wanting the 

 white spots on the back and rump, and the black cross-bars on the quills 

 and tail-feathers. 



The nest and eggs were taken by Mr. Baker on May llth. The nest 

 was a deep cup with the back wall prolonged, made 'inside of skeleton 

 leaves, bound together with fern roots and bents, outside of dead leaves ; 

 the eggs, three in number, were white, finely speckled with reddish- 

 brown, and measured about '66 by *5.

 Soc. ix, p. 1. Vidal, op. cit. viii, p. 427, has shovn that both the 

 kinds of nests described may be made by the same pair of birds, 

 the difference depending on the site selected.
