196 ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF TENASSERIM • 



831.— Excalfactoria sinensis, Lin. 



About Kaukarit on the Houndraw river and on the hill at 

 Maulmain this little Quail is common in June, July, and August. 

 In the Thoungyeen I have flushed it a few times. 



834 bis.— Turnix maculosa, Tern. 



I have only once come across this Quail, when I flushed a 

 covey near the banks of the Meplay river on the 11th April 

 1878. I only succeeded in getting one, a male, which measured 

 in the flesh : — 



Length, 6*5 ; expanse, 12*8 ; wing, 3'4; tail, 1*2; tarsus, 

 1-03 ; bill from gape, 0'77. 



Upper mandible, and tip of lower, horny ; gape, and remain- 

 der of lower mandible, yellow ; legs and feet dull yellow ; irides 

 yellowish white. 



842.— Glareola orientalis, Leach. 



1 have only shot this species at Kaukarit. As far as I know 

 it does not occur in the Thoungyeen valley. 



845.— Charadrius fulvus, Gm. 



This i3 very common in the cold weather both in the Thoung- 

 yeen valley, near Meeawuddy, and about Kaukarit. It leaves 

 about the end of May. One specimen, shot 1st May 1879, has 

 nearly the whole under surface black. 



849.— iEgialitis dubia, Scop. 



I have not as yet gone in for these little Plovers, the Waders, 

 and other water-birds ; but one specimen of the above species 

 I procured at the mouth of the Thoungyeen, and I know it 

 occurs at Kaukarit on the Houndraw river. 



855 bis.— Lobivanellus atronuchalis, Bly. 



Common throughout the Thoungyeen as elsewhere. 



857.— Hoplopterus ventralis, Cab. 



Common along the course of all the larger rivers, including 

 of course the Thoungyeen, but does not ascend any of their 

 small tributaries as far as I know. 



870.— Gallinago sthenura, EM. 

 871.— Gallinago gallinaria, Gm. 



I have shot both these at Kaukarit and in the Thoungyeen 

 valley. See also S. F., Vol. VIII., p. 196.
