A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 213 
237.—Pratincola ferreus, Hodgs. (486.) 
I procured this at Prome where it is rare. Captain Ramsay 
records it from Tounghoo. 
238.— Oreicola jerdoni, Bly. (487.) 
Mr. Blanford got this at Bassein. I have never met with it. 
239.—Ruticilla aurorea, Pail. (500.) 
Recorded from Thyetmyo by Mr. Hume, on the strength 
of aspecimen sent him by Captain Feilden. 1 have never met 
with it. 
240.—Larvivora cyane, Pall. (507 dis.) 
I shot one specimen, an adult male, at Kyeikpadein. It is 
probably rare as I have been paying particular attention to 
this class of birds for some years, and have failed to procure 
more than one. 
241.—Calliope camtschatkensis, Gm. (512.) 
Very abundant during the cold weather in the neighbour- 
hood of Kyeikpadein, and near Myitkyo on the canal. At 
the former place it frequents tangled brushwood, and in the 
latter, elephant grass. It keeps to the ground a good deal, 
but perches on shrubs when not feeding. It is very difficult 
to get a shot at this bird unless it happens to be running 
along a footpath. The male bird, even in December, has a 
very pretty little song, by hearing which I got first acquainted 
with the species. Feilden procured it at Thyetmyo. 
242.—Cyanecula suecica, Zin. (514.) 
Very abundant in the grass plains west of the canal. It 
comes out habitually into burnt-up open patches to feed, and 
is very easy to procure. It is silent. It has the habit of 
running with great speed about ten feet at a time, then stopping 
suddenly, elevating and jerking its tail a good deal when stop- 
ping still. It is by no means shy, and at Wan it may frequently 
be seen running about the compound of the Inspection 
Bungalow from 7th November to 15th May. 
243.—Acrocephalus stentoreus, Hemp. § Hhr. (515.) 
Not uncommon at Kyeikpadein, and mixed up with orentalis, 
from which it is difficult to separate it if the wing 1s imperfect. 
As arule these birds want the marks on the breast, which are 
almost always present in orientalis. 
244.— Acrocephalus orientalis, Tem. § Schl. (515 dis.) 
I described this bird in S. F., III, p. 337. I have nothing 
to add to what I then said, except that the amount of striation
