THE ISLANDS OF THE BAY OF BENGAL. 133 



Some of these also occur {e.g., H. coromanda and L. indieus) 

 in Peninsular India, but the extreme south has a distinct lndo- 

 Burmese tinge. One, 0. emeria, spreads a little westwards 

 and southwards into the Indian region proper, (in the south 

 and west it is replaced by fuscicaudata.) D. sacra might 

 more properly, it may be thought, have been placed in the Aus- 

 tralian and Archipelagian sub-division, but this I have reserved 

 for species, not occurring (save as mere stragglers) in any 

 other locality within our limits, except in these islands ; whereas 

 sacra is more or less common along the whole Indo-Burmese 

 coastline, from Moulmein to Saugor Island. A. cedon again has 

 a wide range, but within onr limits it occurs almost exclusively 

 in and on the borders of the Indo-Burmese sub-region ; and 

 generally, I think, I am correct in saying that whatever their 

 extension elsewhere, within our limits, these species are virtually 

 peculiar to, and characteristic of, the Indo-Burmese sub-region. 

 The two Southern Indian birds are — 



83. Hypurolepsis domicola, Jerd., (p. 155.) 



96. Chastura indica, Hume, (p. 155.) 



But of these, the former also certainly extends to Malacca as 

 well as the Andamans. 



Lastly, we have the 22 species, which I class as belonging to 

 the Eastern Asiatic, Archipelagian, &c, sub-regions.
