AND SPECIALLY THOSE OF THE THOUNGYEEN VALLEY. 197 



873.— Rhynchaea bengal ensis, Lin. 



Numerous enough at Kaukarit on the Hound raw river, and 

 at Maulmain ; in the Thoungyeen the Painted Snipe is rather 

 scarce. 



891.— Rhyacophila glareola, Lin. 

 892.— Totanus ochropus, Lin. 

 893.— Totanus hypoleucus, Lin. 



These three Sandpipers are winter visitants to the Thoung- 

 yeen valley as well as other parts of the country. Except 

 these I have neither procured nor observed any Snippets in the 

 Thoungyeen. 



900.— Parra indica, Lath, 



This handsome bird is very common in quins (anglice 

 marshes; throughout the Thoungyeen valley as elsewhere. 



902.— Porphyrio poliocephalus, Lath. 



It is strange that in the Thoungyeen, so close to Siamese ter- 

 ritory, I should have got the above species, aud not Mr. Elliott's 

 newly described species edwardsi. 



907.— Erythra phcenicura, Penn. 

 913.— Hypotaenidia striata, Lin. 



In some places, as in the Attaran and near Kaukarit, on the 

 Houndraw river, these two species abound. In the Thoungyeen 

 valley, as far as I know, they are very scarce. I only once or 

 twice came across them. 



915— Leptoptilus argalus, Lath. 



I have seen this species close to Kaukarit, but it does not, to 

 the best of my belief, cross over into the Thoungyeen valley. 



929.— Buphus coromandus, Bodd. 



I have once or twice come across small parties of this Heron 

 herding with buffaloes in the Thoungyeen valley. On the Houn- 

 draw, Gyne, and Attaran rivers I found it common. 



930.— Ardeola grayi, Sykes. 



Common in the Thoungyeen valley as elsewhere. 



931.— Butorides javanica, Eorsf. 



I have never seen tbis species in the Thoungyeen valley. On 

 the Attaran it is common.
