180 A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 
23.—Haliaetus leucogaster, Gm. (43.) 
Frequently seen along the southern coast of Pegu, and on one 
occasion I observed it near the town of Pegu. 
24.—Buteo plumipes, Hodgs. (47.) 
Recorded from Thyetmyo by Mr. Hume, to whom a speci- 
men was sent by Captain Feilden.* 
25.—Butastur teesa, Frankl. (48.) 
Apparently restricted to the northern portion of the province. 
It is common at Thyetmyo, and all the way down to Prome. 
Captain Ramsay records it from Tounghoo. 
26.—Butastur liventer, Zem. (48 ¢er.) 
Although not abundant this bird is found in every portion of 
the province which is suited to its habits. It frequents the 
plains and creeks, and does not appear to be found in forest 
country or dry hilly ground. 
A young bird, reared from the nest, escaped at the age of 
three months, and had to be shot. At this age the w hite bars 
extend up to the middle of the belly. The edge of the wing 
is white, the breast is brown, and the throat, with the lores 
and forehead, nearly pure white; the top of the head is rufous, 
and the plumage generally is brown where, in the adult, it is 
grey; the bars on the tail, which in the old bird are interrupt- 
ed, are in the young very clearly defined and unbroken. 
27.—Circus macrurus, S. G. Gm. (51.) 
Tolerably common during the cold season in all the plains of 
the southern portion of the province. 
28.—Circus melanoleucus, Jorsé.t (53). 
Very abundant from the end of September to the middle of 
May in all parts of Pegu, except the hills, where it is not found 
at all. 
A young bird differs from that figured by Mr. Swinhoe 
(ibis, 1874, pl. X) in being very rufous without a trace of 
yellow in its plumage. 
29.—Circus eruginosus, Lin. (54.) 
As abundant as the preceding, and found in the same tracts 
during the cold season.
