A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 199 
146.—Dendrophila frontalis, Horsf. (253.) 
Common all over the Pecu hills and ranging into the plains 
where the vegetation is at all evergreen, and suitable to it.* 
147.—Upupa longirostris, Jerdon. (254 bis.) 
Extremely common in all the dry forests of the plains, as 
well as in cultivated and bare ground. In thick dry forest, 
such as there is at} Entagan, 13 miles south of Pegu, on the 
Rangoon road, it is remarkably abundant. 
148.—Lanius nigriceps, Frankl. (259.) 
Common in the rains, somewhat rarer in the dry weather, 
in the grassy plains between the Pegu and the Sittang rivers. 
I also procured it at Prome, and Captain Ramsay got it at 
Tounghoo.f 
149.—Lanius colluroides, Less. (260 ter.) 
Common at Thyetmyo and Prome. Also throughout Lower 
Pegu it occurs in considerable numbers; but it is not common 
except in Upper Pegu. It leaves the province from about 
February to July to breed, and perhaps goes to native Burma 
for the purpose. 
150.—Lanius cristatus, Zin. (261.) 
Excessively common over the whole province from Septem- 
ber to April in the plains, frequenting open ground and the 
neighbourhood of houses and villages. 
151.—Tephrodornis pelvicus, Hodgs. (263.) 
Occurs in all parts of the province in forests and well- 
wooded localities. 
152.—Tephrodornis pondicerianus, Gm. (265.) 
Very abundant everywhere, but a bird more of the open 
ground and of cultivation than of the forest. 
153.—Muscitrea grisola, Bly. (266.) 
Apparently rare. I have procured only one specimen which 
T shot on the banks of the canal about ten miles from Pegu. 
154.—Hemipus picatus, Sykes. (267.) 
Not a common bird, but very generally distributed over 
the province. 
_ * We have received it from Bassein, and Blanford also appears to have procured 
it there—Ep.,S.F 
+ Also near the mouth of the Bassein river,—EDp., 8. F.
