318 A SECOND LIST OF THE BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 



have been able, in thi3 brief space, to work out with certainty 

 the numerous forms, previously unknown to me, which are 

 included in the following : — 



List of Birds now to be added to the ornis of Tenassei'im. 



57 ter. — Macheiramphus alcinus, Westerm. Malewoon ; only one 



specimen seen and obtained, (vide supra, p. 269). 

 58. — Baza lophotes, Cuv. Mergui, Malewoon ; not uncommon 

 in December and January throughout the south of Tenas- 

 serim. 



58 bis. — Baza sumatrensis, La/res. Single specimen, (vide 



supra, p. 312). 



83. — Hirundo javanica, Sparrm. (H. domicola, Jerd.) ; rare. 



85. — Hirundo erythropygia, Sykes. Pakchan, Malewoon; not 

 uncommon. The smaller race identical with specimens 

 breeding in the plains of India. Those from the hilly 

 parts of Northern Tenasserim were identical with the 

 larger Himalayan race. 



95 bis. — Chsetura coracina, S. Midi. Pakchan ; very rare. 



103 quat. — Collocalia spodiopygia, Peale. Mergui, Pakchan. 

 Identical with specimens from the Andamans. With the 

 conspicuous whitey brown rump ; perfectly distinct from 

 Linchi, Horsf., unicolor Jerd., and innominata, nobis. 



104 bis. — Dendrochelidon comata, Tern. Common in suitable 

 localities throughout the extreme south of Tenasserim. 



104 ter. — Dendrochelidon klecho, Horsf. Bankasoon, Pakchan; 



rare. 

 107. — Caprimulgus indicus, Lath? Single specimen, near 



Mergui.* 

 115 bis. — Harpaetes Duvaucelii, Tern. Common in Southern 



Tenasserim. These are not orropheeus, Cab. and Heine, 



but have the upper tail-coverts red, and not colored like 



the back. 

 131 bis. — Halcyon concretus, Tern. Malewoon; rare. 

 1 35 ter. — Alcedo euryzona, Tern. Bankasoon ; rare. 

 145 quat. — Anorrhinus galeritus, Tern. Bankasoon; rare. 



145 quint. — Berenicornis comatus, Rajjl. Bankasoon; not 

 rare, but very wary. 



146 quint. — Rhinoplax scutatus, Bodd. Bankasoon ; rare and 

 almost unprocurable being persistently hunted by the natives 



* Although I record this as indicus, I believe that it will probably prove distinct. 

 It is of the same type — tarsi feathered, all but the central tail-feathers in the male 

 with a conspicuous white subterminal band ; a white spot on the inner webs of the 

 first four primaries, and a buffy white spot on the outer webs of the 2nd to the 4th, but 

 the bird is somewhat smaller and yet has a wing larger than average (79). The tail- 

 feathers are much narrower, and the white spot on the 1st primary smaller. Then the 

 bird is altogether more richly colored, the central head stripe broader and more strongly 

 marked, and the whole of the wings are much more rufous. 



If distinct it may stand as C. innominata. It is too small for JotaTca and (to judge 

 from Wolfs figures in the Faun-Japon.) somewhat differently colored also.
