142 A FIRST LIST OF THE 



590.— Motacilla luzoniensis, Scop. 



* A single specimen, a female with the wing 3*05, in winter 

 plumage, sent me by Mr. Oates, is, I consider, clearly referable 

 to this species. This Wagtail, he says, is one of the commonest 

 birds about Thayetmyo. It is to be regretted that he was un- 

 able to send a series, as it is not improbable that more than one 

 species of Grey Wagtail occurs within our limits. 



593 ter.— Budytes cinereocapilla, SavL 



This also is said by Mr. Oates to be excessively common during 

 the colder season, within our limits. He sent me a single 

 typical male. As he has not yet worked up the Wagtails, it 

 is not unlikely that other species of Biulytes also occur. 



595— Limonidromus indicus, Gm. 



A single specimen was obtained by Mr. Oates in the heart of 

 the Pegu Hills, m dense forest, on the 13th April. Captain 

 Feilden also sent this species from the immediate neighbourhood 

 of Thayetmyo. 



596.— Pipastes agilis, Syhes. 



Mr. Oates remarks : " Very common in the cold-weather. It 

 begins to come in about the 25th August." 



Captain Feilden also sent specimens, and remarks that they 

 are very common about Thayetmyo. 



597.— Pipastes plumatus, Mull. 



A single specimen was obtained by Mr. Oates in the Pegu 

 Hills, in thick jungle, on the 10th April. He did not discrimi- 

 nate this from agilis, so I do not know whether the present 

 species occurs in the plains also. 



600.— Corydalla rufula, Vieil. 



Sir Arthur Phayre obtained this species in the valley of the 

 Sittang in the Tonghoo District. 



630.— Erpornis xanthochlora, Bodgs. 



Pegu specimens correspond exactly with others from Sikhim, 

 where it is a very common bird at moderate elevations. 



Mr. Oates remarks : " This is a common bird all over the hills, 

 frequenting ravines and nullahs. Two specimens, a pair, of which 

 I took the dimension in the flesh, measured as follows (the 

 figures first given in each case are those of the male) : — 



"Length, 4' 83, 4-63; expanse, 8-3, 8-0; tail, from vent, 

 1-8, 1-85; wing, fc-65, 2*67; bill, from gape, 0-62, 0-6; tarsus, 

 0-7, 0-72.
