AND SPECIALLY THOSE OF THE THOUNGYKEN VALLEY. 195 



798.— Chalcophaps indica, Lin. 



This also is common ; in the Thoungyeen especially so. 

 In the middle of the day it has a habit of squatting in groups 

 on the ground at the foot of bamboo clumps. 



803.— Pavo muticus, Lin. 



During three years' constant search I have never succeeded 

 in shooting one of these birds in Tenasserim. In the Thoung- 

 yeen they are very rare. In the Attaran I both heard and 

 saw them, but they are so wary that I never succeeded in 

 getting within shot. 



803 gwa*.— Polyplectrum tibetanum, Gm. 



This occurs to my knowledge in the Thoungyeen valley, 

 for I have seen its feathers lying on the roadside, where some 

 Karen hunter had succeeded in snaring or shooting one, but 

 personally I have never come across it here. 



In the Sinzaway reserve I shot one in April 1877. 



811 ter.— Euplocamus lineatus, Vig. 



This Pheasant is fairly common in the Thoungyeen jungles. 

 I procured one specimen, a male, on the 16th October 1879 

 on the Hteekotaw choung, which, in the bold markings on the 

 tail, approaches E. crawfurdi. 



812.— Gallus ferrugineus, Gm. 



Common throughout the province wherever suitable bamboo 

 cover occurs. 



824 tev.— Arboricola brunneopectus, Tick. 



I have only shot or seen this species on the east side of 

 the Dawna range, and on its higher spurs. 



The dimensions of a pair shot near Tounjah taken in the 

 flesh were : — 



Male. — Length, 10*9 ; expanse, 195 ; wing, 6*05 ; tail, 2*8 ; 

 tarsus, 1*5; bill from gape, 0'92. 



Bill horny ; bare skin of face and throat reddish pink ; irides 

 brown ; legs, feet, and claws pale pink. 



Female. — Length, 10'75 ; expanse, 18*5 ; wing, 5*5 ; tail, 

 2*6 ; tarsus, 1*5 ; bill from gape, 0*92. Colors of soft parts 

 as in the male. 



824 quat— Arboricola chloropus, Tick. 



Besides getting a pair of these at Maulmain (vide S. F., Vol. 

 VI., p. 447), I have seen this bird only in the lower hills of 

 the Thoungyeen valley.
