351.— Cyanocincla cyana, Lin. 



Visits the Thoungyeen valley in common with all Burmah. 

 I have never seen a female in the complete blue garb of the 

 male. 



355.— -Geocichla citrina, Lath. 



Very rare in the Thoungyeen valley. I have only procured 

 it once at Thingangyeenoun. I procured one too on the Attaran 

 not far from Maulmain. Both localities are further north than 

 it was ever obtained by Davison. 



371.— Oreocincla dauma, Lath. 



I shot one specimen of this on the Day law choung, Thoung- 

 yeen river, on the 29th January 1880. It is a male and 

 measured in the flesh : — 



Length, 10*6 ; expanse, 17'4 ; wing, 5"65 ; tail, 4*15 ; tarsus, 

 1*4 ; bill from gape, 13. 



Bill horny, whitish at base of lower mandible ; gape, legs, 

 and feet yellow ; claws horny. 



384 bis.— Gampsorhynchus torquatus, Hume. 



This species is not uncommon in the higher spurs of the 

 Dawna range as beyond Tounjah in the Nubboo pass, and a 

 little way up Maul-at. I came across a large flock of them on 

 the Meplay East Watershed range, in dense evergreen forest. 



Male measured in the flesh: — Length, 9'7 ; expanse, 12*2; 

 wing, 3*9 ; tail, 4*95; tarsus, 1*2; bill from gape, 1*05. 



Bill fleshy white, shaded with horny on the ridge of upper 

 mandible ; irides yellow ; legs and feet pale plumbeous ; claws 

 pinkish. 



Two females measured respectively : — Lengths, 9'7 and 10*10; 

 expanse, 12 '35 and 12-5; wings, 3-82 and 4-02; tails, 4'15 

 and 5*10; tarsi, 1'20 each; bills from gape, 1*1 each. Colors 

 of soft parts as in the male. 



387.— Trichastoma abbotti, Blyth. 



This is a very common species in the Thoungyeen evergreen 

 forests ; and it extends along the base of the Dawna to, at any 

 rate, as far as the mouth of the Thoungyeen river.
