AND SPECIALLY THOSE OF THE THOUNGYEEN VALLEY. 157 



Bill greenish yellow, blue at tip and at gape ; orbicular skin 

 yellow ; irides ashy brown ; legs and feet pale green ; claws 

 light horny. 



The general color of the bird is duller than in the adult. 

 There is a considerable amount of green on the forehead ; the 

 blue patch on the centre of the head consists only of one or 

 two blue feathers, and the yellow of the chin and throat is 

 much mixed with green. 



139 bis.— Serilophus lunatus, Gould. 



This is the commonest Broadbill in the country, descending 

 in the rains even to the jungles round Maulmain. 



In the Thoungyeen it is common from the sources to its 

 mouth. For notes on its nidification vide S. F., Vol. V., p. 455. 



139 ter.— Eurylaemus javanicus, Horsf. 



Mr. Davison got this at Meetan on the Houndraw river 

 aud below Amherst. I have since found that it extends along 

 the whole of the eastern face of the Dawna range nearly to 

 the mouth of the Thoungyeen. Probably it continues up 

 along the ranges on the Sal ween to Tounghoo where Major 

 Loyd got it. 



139 quaL— Cymborhynchus macrorhynchus, Gm. 



It is strange my getting a specimen of this lovely Broad- 

 bill, hitherto supposed to be confined to the south of Tenas- 

 serim and the Malay Peninsula, so far north as the pass from 

 Meeawuddy over the Dawna to Kaukarit. 



The pair I saw, and the female of which I managed to 

 procure, may have been mere stragglers ; but I am inclined 

 to believe that owing to the heavy rainfall on these moun- 

 tains many birds extend along its forests, which are in most 

 localities denizens of more southern latitudes. The following 

 are the dimensions, etc., of the one shot :— 



Female, (10th August 2879) : — Length, 9*48 ; expanse, 130 ; 

 wing, 4*1 ; tail from vent, 3*9 ; tarsus, 0*89 ; bill from gape, 1*2 ; 

 upper mandible, and a bordering along the edge of the lower 

 mandible, brilliant blue ; remainder of the latter yellowish ; 

 edges of both transparent white ; irides emerald green, shot 

 "with gold ; legs and feet ultramarine blue ; claws horny. 



139 sext.— Corydon sumatranus, Bqffl. 



This species is common in the north and in the Thoungyeen 

 valley, but I have never shot one anywhere on the Houndraw, 

 or in the plains country on the Hlinebooey or Gyne rivers. 



A male measured in the flesh :— Lengtb, 10*5 ; expanse,
