190 NOTES ON SOME TENASSKRIM BIRDS. 



a sufficiently marked area, to render the variation of any 

 appreciable biological importance, and whether this be so or 

 not in the case of Otocorys pencillata and longirostris, I cannot 

 now pretend to say. Had Mr. Blanford decided that it was so 

 after a study of the series we now have here, I for one should 

 have gladly accepted his verdict.

2.— Otogyps calvus, Scop. 



I have seen this Vulture at various places from Pahpoon 

 to Meeawuddy. In December 1878 I noticed one seated on 

 a large stick nest placed higii up on an inaccessible tree near 

 Thaubia on the Zamee River. 



3 Us. — Gyps fulvescens,* Hume. 

 4.— Gyps indicus, Scop. 



I am not quite certain, but think I have seen both these 

 Vultures among a lot of Pseudogyps hengalensis round a dead 

 elephant near Kaukaryit on the Houndraw River. 



5. — Pseudogyps bengalensis, Om.

 containing two unfledged young. This was near Nautch on 

 the Attaran River, 8 miles from Moulmein. 



23 fi/s.— Astur poliopsis, Bume. 



I saw a pair of these birds strike alternately at a young 

 puppy dog on the race course at Moulmein, and they only 

 made off on my throwing my stick at them. The puppy 

 was cut somewhat about the back and neck, but was more 

 frightened than hurt. I could not make out what made the 

 birds attack him. 



28.— Aquila clanga, Fall. 



In July 1879, on the borders of a quin or marsh near 

 Kamaulai on the east bank of the Salween River, I came 

 on a pair of large black-looking Eagles, seated on the branch 

 of a dead tree, well out in the water. I had just come
