228 A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 
289.—Zosterops siamensis, Bly. (631 quat.) 
Very abundant from Rangoon up to Kyeikpadein and Pegr,. 
going about in flocks and frequenting tall trees. 
290.—Parus nipalensis, Hodgs. (645.) 
A rather rare bird, hitherto only found in the Thyetmyo 
district.* 
291.—Melanochlora sultanea, Hodgs. (650.) 
Common on the Pegu hills, not descending, I think, into the 
plains, 
292.—Corvus macrorhynchus, Wag. (660.) 
Common in all parts of Pegu, both in the jungle and in 
towns and villages. 
293.—Corvus insolens, Hume. (663 Dis.) 
Excessively common in all parts of the province, except on 
the higher hills. 
294.—Garrulus leucotis, Hume. (669 dis.) 
I got this bird at Tounghoo and at Shwaygheen, and Mr. 
Olive, Superintendent of Police, who knows the bird well, 
assures me he has shot it on the hills near Prome. It is how- 
ever rare in the province. 
295.—Urocissa occipitalis, Bly. (671.) 
I cannot separate the Pegu birds from several birds from 
the Himalayas with which I have compared them. The colour 
of the iris and legs is apparently the only point in which the 
two races differ. 
It is common in the Thyetmyo district, and Captain Ramsay 
met with it at Tounghoo. 
296.—Cissa chinensis, Bodd. (673.) 
Abundant on the hills, but not found in the plains. 
297.—Dendrocitta rufa, Scop. (674.) 
Very abundant in all parts of the province. 
298.—Crypsirhina cuculata, Jerd. (678 ter.) 
Confined to the country between Thyetmyo and Prome, and 
extending laterally on both sides the Irrawaddy to the foot of 
the hills. 
* But see that Armstrong says, IV, 350: ‘Met with abundantly in the open 
tidal jungle bordering portions of the coast, between Elephant Point and China 
Bakeer, and also in similar localities along the margin of the Rangoon river 
at Eastern Grove.’—ED., 8. F.
