A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 181 
30.—Haliastur indus, Bodd. (55.) 
Very common throughout the province. 
31.—Milvus affinis, Gould. (56 ter.) 
The majority of the smaller Kites of Pegu appears to be 
‘referable to this species, but some specimens are not far 
removed from govinda. It will probably be found impossible 
hereafter to maintain both species. At one time (S. F., VII, 
p. 44) I thought it easy to discriminate the two birds; bat as 
T accumulated a larger and larger series, the salient points of 
distinction appeared to disappear. 
The common Kite is very abundant in every part of Pegu, 
except from June to September. Its return in the latter 
month indicates the termination of the rainy season. 
32.—Milvus melanotis, Tem. & Schl. (56 bis.) 
Immediately round the village of Kyeikpadein, and away in 
the plain, where fisheries are worked, this large Kite is very 
abundant from about October to February, or perhaps later. 
It does not appear to breed in Pegu. 
33-—Pernis ptilorhynchus, Tem. (57.) 
A rather uncommon bird; found in well-wooded districts 
generally over the province. 
34.—Elanus ceruleus, Desf. (59.) 
This Kite is seen from July to the middle October in con- 
siderable quantities on the plains of the south. I procured a 
specimen at Tounghoo, and Captain Feilden records it from 
Thyetmyo. 
35.—Strix flammea,* Zin. (60.) 
Abundant in every part of the province. 
36.—Strix candida, Zick. (61.) 
Procured at Tounghoo by the late Colonel Lloyd. 
37.—Phodilus badius, Horsf (62.) 
Captain Ramsay procured this Owl at Tounghoo, and the bird 
recorded from Thyetmyo by Captain Feilden (8. F., III, p. 37) 
was probably of the same species. 
* This is what we call javanica, and I am doubtful of the propriety of following 
Mr, Sharpe in uniting this with our common European Barn Owl —EL., S, F.
