212 A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 
Young birds of both sexes are clothed in the plumage of 
the female. The male changes into adult plumage when about: 
nine months old or about March. The change takes place 
without a moult. In one young bird nearly changed into 
adult plumage, the centres of the upper feathers are still of 
the dull blue of the female. 
228.—Oriolus indicus, Jerd. (471.) 
Confined, as far as my experience goes, to Lower Peou. 
It is abundant near Rangoon and Pecu, and in the intermediate. 
tract. 
229.—Oriolus tenuirostris, Bly. (471 ter.) 
Common in the Thyetmyo district, and extending down to 
Rangoon and Lower Pegu generally, but rare there. Major 
Lloyd appears to have sent it froma Tounghoo. Where found, 
it affects the same jungle as indicus. 
230.—Oriolus melanocephalus, Zin, (472.) 
Extremely common in every part of the province. 
231.—Oriolus trailli, Vig. (474:.) 
Captain Ramsay records this from Tounghoo, and I have 
several specimens shot a few miles east of that place. 
232.—Copsychus saularis, Lin. (475.) 
Very common in all parts. It does not asa rule frequent 
forests, but I have occasionally seen them in such places. 
233.—Cercotrichas macrura, Gm. (476.) 
A forest bird, remarkably abundant in all parts of Pegu. 
234.—Pratincola caprata, Lin. (481.) 
Very abundant in all parts of the province in the plains. 
I have not recorded yet the finding of the nest of this bird 
in Burma. I may as well do so now. I found the nest on 
the 20th April in a foot-print in anold paddy field, and it 
contained three eggs quite fresh. This was near Pegu. 
235.—Pratincola maurus, Pall. (483.) 
Generally distributed as a dry weather visitor throughout 
the province in the plains only. 
236.—Pratincola leucurus, Bly. (484.) 
I only procured this species at Thyetmyo, where it is rather 
rare.
