186 ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF TENASSERIM 



530.— Orthotomus sutorius, Fenn. 



Occurs throughout the Thoungyeen valley as elsewhere in 

 the province. 



538 bis.— Prinia beavani,* Wald. 



This is the common Prinia of Tenasserim, and is found 

 throughout the province. I have not noticed that it keeps 

 particularly to long grass. I have shot it just as often among 

 bamboos, and in the thick undergrowth of evergreen forests as 

 in Kine or other grass. 



539.— Cisticola cursitans, Frankl. 



This species is common all along the Gryne and portions of 

 the Houudraw ; and at Kaukarit on the latter river it abounds. 

 In the Thoungyeen valley, on the contrary, I have found it 

 rare. 



544 quat— Drymoica extensicauda, Swinh. 



About Kaukarit on the Houndraw river I found this species 

 in June 1878 very common. They were then breeding, and 

 I found several nests, all, however, unfinished ; these were in 

 material and make very like the nests of D. inornata which I 

 had taken years ago in India. My taxidermist got one speci- 

 men of this bird at Maulmain. In the Thoungyeen valley I 

 have never yet come across it. 



556 ter.— Phylloscopus schwarzi, Radde. 



I have not paid the attention I should have to these trouble- 

 some little Warblers, and have consequently obtained only a few 

 specimens of still fewer species. 



Of the above, I obtained two specimens — one shot on the 2nd 

 March on the Hteekleethoo choung, a small tributary of the 

 Thoungyeen, is a male and unmistakeable. 



It measured in the flesh : — Length, 5'55 ; expanse, 7 "8 ; wing, 

 251 ; tail, 23; tarsus, TO; bill from gape, 0'63. 



Bill horny, at base fleshy white ; gape yellow ; irides brown ; 

 legs and feet fleshy yellowish white ; claws brown. 



The second specimen of this species (also a male) was shot on 

 the 4th March 1880, at Thekkaya choung, elevation about 1,500 

 feet, on Thoungyeen river. Structurally it is nearly identical 

 with Indian examples of indicus with which I have compared it, 

 but the entire upper surface, including wings and tail, is 

 suffused with dull olive green, instead of being dull earth grey ; 



* Has this species ever been compared with P. superciliaris, Salvad, U. di B., 

 249, 1874? The two supposed species seem to be identical .—A. O. H.
