A male measures : — Length, 7'75 ; expanse, 14*0 ; wing, 

 4'18 ; tail, 2"4 ; tarsus, 0-75 ; bill from gape, I'l.

 in the male. 



166.— Chrysocolaptes sultaneus, Hodgs. 



Mr. Davison has already given this from the Thoungyeen 

 valley. It is common all over the country. 



168.— Muelleripicus pulverulentus, Tern. 



The same remark applies to this as to the former species, only 

 that this is a bird of the heavy forest, is seldom found in open 

 jungle and never in the bare plains country. 



A male shot on the 18th February 1878, on the Zammee 

 choung, Attaran river, is peculiar in having the yellow of the 

 throat washed over with a pinkish crimson. 



It measured in the flesh: — Length, 19*7; expanse, 27*8 ; 

 wing, 9"0; tail, 6*5; tarsus, 1*4 ; bill from gape, 2*91. 



Bill, legs and feet dark slaty ; irides dark brown. 



female. — Length, 18*45 ; expanse, 28*0 ; wing, 8*8 ; tail, 

 6-66 ; tarsus, T38 ; bill from gape, 2-87. 



Bill, ridge of upper mandible and whole tip of both dark slaty, 

 remainder dusky, smoky, white; irides dark brown; legs and 

 feet plumbeous. 



169 ter.— Thriponax feddeni, Blanford. 



I have procured this species as far south as the head-waters 

 of the Thoungyeen, and though not common in this valley, it 

 is widely spread. In March 1878, I saw a number and shot a 

 young male on the Zammee choung ; again near Kaukarit on 

 the Houndraw river it may be said to be fairly common. 



A pair procured here on the 16th August measured in the 

 flesh as follows : —
