A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU, 185 
ment it only contained a Sparrow’s egg. The nest was quite 
new, and the birds were constantly coming to it. I failed to 
shoot them, and after being fired at once or twice they 
mounted high, far out of shot. Of course I cannot be posi- 
tive about the identification of this Swift, but itis more likely 
e be afinis than subfurcatus. One of the two it must have 
een. 
55.—Cypselus pacificus, Lath. (101 bis.) 
There are few parts of the province where I have not seen 
this bird, but it was only near Thyetmyo that they were 
flying sufficiently low to be shot. It does not appear to be 
very common. 
56.—Cypselus infumatus, Sclat. (102 dis.) 
Very abundant everywhere, where there are toddy palms. 
They stick to these trees in a most pertinacious way even when 
not breeding. 
57.—Dendrochelidon coronata, Tick, (104.) 
I have observed these birds only between Thyetmyo and 
Prome, and never in any other part of Pegu. 
Lieutenant Ramsay got it at Tounghoo.* 
58.—Caprimulgus albonotatus, Tick. (109.) 
I procured this on the Pegu hills. Captain Ramsay records 
it from Tounghoo. I do not think it can be well separated 
from the next species. 
59.—Caprimulgus macrurus, Horsf. (110,) 
This smaller species occurs in every part of the province 
both in the hills and in the plains. 
60.—Caprimulgus asiaticus, Lath, (112.) 
This is a bird of the plains only. I got it at Thyetmyo, 
and it is very abundant round Pegu and Kyeikpadein. 
61.—Caprimulgus monticolus, Frankl. (114.) 
I have never met with this Nightjar. Captain Ramsay 
records it from Tounghoo. 
* Add 107 bis.—Caprimulgus jotaka, 7. § S. 
This species certainly occurs in Pegu, as I have had a specimen from some- 
where near Kangoon, and another from south-west Pegu, near the mouth of the 
Bassein river.
