226 BIRDS OF TENASSKRIM. 



293 bis.— Leucocerca javanica, Sparrm. (5). Descr. 

 a F. 3 I., 455. 



Tavoy ; Mergui. 



Confined apparently to the coast region of the southern 

 portion of the province. 



[This species occurs in the province from Tavoy south- 

 wards ; it is not abundant, and I have noticed that it seems to 

 prefer the mangrove and Nipa swamps to almost any other 

 locality ; but I have seen and shot it in bushes on the banks of 

 streams and edges of paddy flats ; but never to my knowledge 

 have I seen it far from the coast. — W. D.] 



I described this species, loc. cit., from Acheen. My Sumatran 

 specimen had an abnormally long bill, and I proposed for it, if 

 new, the name of infumata. I have now no doubt that 

 it is properly referable to the present species. I have only 

 to add to my former description that the entire throat, and not 

 merely the central portion, is often white, and to subjoin cer- 

 tain measurements recorded in the flesh from Tenasserim 

 specimens.

(Karennee, at 3,500 feet, Earns.) Pahpoon, Salween E. ; Wimpong ; Moo- 

 leyit; Meetun ; Ckoungthanoung ; Bankasoon. 



Generally distributed throughout the whole province. 



[This little Flycatcher occurs sparingly throughout Tenasserim 

 in pairs, about gardens, thin jungle, and forest. It extends 

 the whole way down the Malayan Peninsula and to Singapore 

 Island. 



It is a permanent resident. — W. D.] 



296 — Hemichelidon sibericus, Gm. (5). 



{Tonghoo Bills, Karennee Bills, at 700 feet, Earns:) Thoungsheyen Sakan j 

 Mergui ; Ckoungthanoung ; Malewoon. 



Very sparsely distributed during the cold season throughout 

 the province. 



[I met with this species occasionally on the outskirts of the 

 forest, and in clearings about Mergui and the Pakchan, and
