450 Acheen. 



Kondul Island, the identification of tlie Aclieen bird is most 

 probably correct. 



134.— Alcedo bengalensiB, Gm. 



I saw this bird several times about the river. 



135 &is.— Alcedo asiatica, Sw. 



I have a note of having- seen this species (which I obtained 

 in the Andamans) on one occasion on the river. I could only 

 identify it by its being- much brig-hter colored than the last. 



Chrysophlegma miniatns, Forst. 



I saw one wood-pecker, which I failed to obtain in conse- 

 quence of tumbling- into a creek while following- it, in hopes of 

 g-etting a shot. It appeared to me very similar to Chr/jsoplilegma 

 xantlioderus , Malh^ which is the only species I know well, but was 

 most probably the species above indicated. 



loRA ? I saw an lora, which most probably was /. 



scapidaris, Horsf., but I could not clearly identify it. 



595. — Nemoricola iiidica, Om. 



I on one occasion saw this bird under some trees in a village. 



Ploceus liypoxantlins ? Baud. 



On a large tree that I was unable to climb, and which the 

 natives would not climb for me, I saw sevei-al nests of a 

 weaver bird ; they were smaller than those of P. bai/a. . I failed 

 to secure specimens of the bird. 



938 Us. — Demiegretia sacra, Gmel. 



I saw several blue-reef herons on the sea coast close to the 

 river's mouth. I have no doubt but that they were of the above 

 species, as they appeared perfectly identical with those we shot 

 at the Andamans and Nicobars. 



931.— Bntorides javanica, Horsf, 



On several occasions I flushed this bird from the edges of the 

 small creeks. 



934— Ardetta sinensis ? Gm. 



I saw a small heronet at Acheen : it rose out of a rice field, 

 and appeared identical with the birds 1 had shot at the 

 Andamans and which have proved to be sinensis. 



Besides the above species which I think I have to a certain 

 extent identified, I saw a large hawk eagle, and a small spar- 

 row hawk, but only obtained a very cursory view of them, and 

 cannot say what they may have been.''^
