693.—Eulabes javanensis, Osbeck. 
This species occurs sparingly in the evergreen forests about 
Syriam and China-Ba-keer. Two males measured in the flesh :—

to 6°15; tail from vent, 3:1 to 3-4; tarsus, 1:35 to 1:32,

towards tip; legs, feet, and claws, dirty yellow. 
693 Sex—Ampeliceps coronatus, Blyth. 
This species appears to be very uncommon throughout the 
entire district, I have only met with it once in the thick and 
almost impenetrable underwood of the forest jungle near China- 
Ba-keer. It then formed one of a party of eight or ten of the 
same species, who were chirping and chattering and chasing 
each other amongst the dense thickets in that locality. The 
following are the dimensions of a male specimen recorded in 
the flesh :— 
Length, 8:7; expanse, 16:2; tail from vent, 2°5 ; wing, 5:05 ; 
tarsus, 1; bill from gape, 1°05. 
Irides, dark brown ; bill, dull greenish, tipped and margined with 
yellow ; legs and feet, bright ochrish yellow; claws, dark brown. 
[We had never previously obtained this beautiful species, the 
Gold-crested Grackle, further north than a place about twenty 
miles south of Moulmein. Dr. Armstrong’s specimen is from 
near China-Ba-keer, in about the same latitude as our most 
northerly specimen, but fully a hundred miles further to the west. 
I have seen no other specimens from anywhere else outside 
the Province of Tenasserim, and in that I only as yet know it to 
occur between Moulmein and some locality intermediate between 
Tavoy and Mergui: to the latter locality it does not extend. 
This species has not yet been described in “ Stray FEATHERS,” 
and is of course not included by Dr. Jerdon. 
The following dimensions aud description are taken from a 
large series obtained within the limits above referred to :— 
Males.— Length, 8 to 9°2; expanse, 15°25 to 16°75; wing, 
4°82 to 5°3; tail from vent, 2°2 to 2°5; tarsus, 0°95 tol; bill 
from gape, 1 to 1:15 ; weight 2°75 to 3°5 ounces.
