208 A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 
this bird is entered as schisticeps, Hodgs. Having received a 
bird lately from Mr. Hume from Mr. Mandelli’s collection 
made in Sikkim, I find that the Thyetmyo bird is clearly 
different from the Sikkim bird, differing in the flanks being 
ferruginous instead of olive brown, and by the absence of 
white streaks on the lateral breast feathers, and also by having 
a pale ferruginous collar on the nape. 
I found this species common rovnd Thyetmyo, but have 
not observed it anywhere else.* 
208.—Garrulax belangeri, Less. (407 bis.) 
Distributed over every portion of the province and abundant. 
209.—Garrulax chinensis, Scop. (408 ter.) 
Rarely met with. I have got it once or twice near Kyeikpa- 
dein and to the west of Shwaygheen. 
210.—Garrulax pectoralis, Gould. (412.) 
Abundant near Thyetmyo and across the Pegu hills to 
Tounghoo, appparently not further south than the latitude of 
Prome. . 
Mr. Hume remarks (S. F., III, p.123) that, as far as he 
knows, this species and the next are always found together. In 
the greater portion however of the Pegu province, moniliger 
only is found. I notice also that in Tenasserim Mr. Davison 
saw the present species only once,f whereas he procured a 
large series of the next. These peculiarities in the distribution 
are good evidence of the total distinctness of the two species. 
211.—Garrulax moniliger, Hodgs. (418.) 
Very abundant throughout the province, mingling with 
pectoralis where that species is found, but being found alone in 
the greater part of Pegu. 
212.—Chatarrhea earlii, Bly. (439.) 
Very abundant in the grass plains west of the canal. I also 
met with it at Henzada, and Mr. Blanford says he got it ai 
Thyetmyo. 
* Add 402.—Pomatorhinus schisticeps, Hodgs. 
We had one typical specimen of this form from Thyetmeyo andso if leuco- 
gaster is retained distinct, this (schisticeps) must also appear in the Pegu list. 
+ But this seems to have been a mere personal idiosyncracy, for Darling got lots 
of pectoralis, and Bingham has found both species equally common in Tenasserim, 
(vide S. F., IX, 181). I have seen, I may add, specimens of pectoralis from near 
Rangoon.—ED,, S. F
