468 A FIRST LIST OF THE BIRDS 



Of course we Lave obtained a goodly amount of information 

 in regard to the habits and vertical and horizontal distribution 

 of many little known species, and have recorded whole series 

 of measurements in the flesh, and full descriptions of the colors 

 of the soft parts of many birds rarely, if ever, previously 

 handled in the flesh by ornithologists, but all this I reserve 

 until our work in Tenasserim completed, I can present some- 

 thing approaching to a reliable Conspectus of the Ornis of the 

 province as a whole. 



Here I shall only draw attention to the marked intermix- 

 ture of Chinese forms in the more northern portion of the pro- 

 vince. 



The numbers prefixed to the species in the list are those of 

 Dr. Jerdon's work and my catalogue.
