370 BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 



611 bis.— Allotrius intermedius, Hume. (l). Descr. 

 S. F., V., 112. 



Mooleyit. 



Only obtained on the higher slopes of Mooleyit. 



612. — Cutia nipalensis, Hodgs. 



Obtained by Wardlaw Ramsay in Karennee at 6,000 feet ; not 

 observed by Davison anywhere further south, though it is 

 such a conspicuous bird that, unless extremely rare, it could 

 scarcely have escaped him. 



613 bis.— Leioptila saturata, Wald. Ibis, 1875, p. 

 352 n. (5). L. davisoni, Hume. Descr. S. F., V., 110. 



(Karennee, Rams.) Mooleyit. 



Confined in Tenasserim proper to the higher slopes of Moo- 

 leyit, but re-appearing in Karennee, in the continuation of the 

 same range. 



[I only found this bird at Mooleyit, quite near the top, 

 usually in pairs, sometimes singly. I found it generally about 

 the large trees surrounding the " Sakans " or camping grounds, 

 strange to say climbing about the trunk and branches much 

 after the manner of a Nut-hatch. I have also seen it hunting 

 about the leaves and smaller branches of the tree tops. Those 

 I killed had eaten only insects. I never remember to have 

 heard it utter any note. It was very rare even where it did 

 occur, and I only saw some six or seven. — W. D.] 



When I named and described this species I was not aware 

 that Lord Walden had already named it. 



In the A ugus£ 1875 number of the J. A. S. B., (which, if I 

 remember rightly, was published many months, latter,) Lord 

 W. entered the bird as annectans, without a hint that he had 

 bestowed on it a separate specific appellation. But it appears 

 that in a. foot note to a paper of Ramsay's which appeared in the 

 Ibis for July 1875, his lordship had proposed the name saturata 

 for it, very briefly indicating its characters. Naturally finding 

 the bird unnamed in his latest published enunciation I did not 

 suspect that he had already previously named it elsewhere. 



615.— Leiothrix argentaurus, Hodgs. (11.) 



(Tonghoo Hills, Karennee Hills, from 1,500 to 4,000 feet, Rams.) 2,000 feet 

 above Paraduba ; Moolejit. 



Confined to Mooleyit and its higher spurs. 

 iThis was not an uncommon species about Mooleyit and its 

 slopes. Usually it was seen in small parties, hunting about the
