i94 NOTES ON SOMK TENASSERIM BIRDS. 



144 bis, — Ocyceros tickellise, Blp. 



This species was not uncommon in the Kyoon Choung Reserve 

 high up on the Zamee River, again between Meeawuddy and 

 Kaukarjnt, and I saw a flock once in July 1879 between Ynnbine 

 on the Sal ween River and Koosaikonthe Thoungyeen. Every- 

 where, however, it keeps to the tops of the very highest trees, 

 and completely out of the range of an ordinary shot gun. 



146 6^s.--Rhyticeros undulatus, Shaw. 



I noticed this Hornbill first in the Kyoon Ohoung Reserve on 

 the Zamee River, a place which seemed to abound with Horn- 

 bills of various species. It kept in parties of twos and threes. 

 Lower down on the Zamee River, at the mouth of the Gwoon- 

 gyee Choung, Mr. Aplin, Assistant Conservator of Forests, shot a 

 fine male and kindly gave it to me. It measured in the flesh : — 



Length, 42-00; expanse, 65'00 ; wiug, 20-35; tail, 15-10; tar- 

 sus, 300 ; bill from gape, 7-20. 



Irides yellow ; gular skin deep saffron color, with an imperfect 

 dark band. 



169 ^er.— Thriponax feddeni, Blanf. 



I procured this handsome Woodpecker at Thaubia on the 

 Zamee, and noticed it more than once at various places on the 

 Wimgeo River ; and on the Thoungyeen, at Laidawgyee, Kyon- 

 khet, Oukra, and Maigla. I procured four specimens, but the 

 unfortunate upsetting of a raft over the rapids of Kamangla on 

 the Thoungyeen, lost me the collection of three months, made 

 in forests little visited. 



195 fi^s.— Megalaima incognita, Hume. 



Not uncommon in the Thoungyeen forests. I have also one 

 specimen from the Kyoon Choung Reserve on the Zamee River. 



223.— Arachnothera magna, Sodgs. 



I have three specimens, all from the Thoungyeen forests. 

 One procured, 25th September 1877, as far south and east as 

 the mouth of the Maigla Choung, one of the sources of the 

 Thoungyeen. 



225 ^er.— .ffithopyga cara, Hume. 



One specimen shot as far north as Koosaik on Thoungyeen 

 River near its mouth, on the 20th July 1879.
