934 A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 
and claws fleshy plumbeous. The female differs in having 
the bill flesh coloured. 
A pair of these birds had a nest with young ones in Kadote 
bungalow at the end of March. The nest was placed in 
exactly the sort of place a sparrow usually chooses. 
The following are the dimensions of a male and female :— 
Length, 5°5, 5-2; expanse, 9°, 8:4; tail, 2:1, 20; wing, 2°7, 
2°5; tarsus, ‘62, ‘6; bill from gape, °52. 
321.—Passer montanus, Lin. (710.) 
Excessively common in all parts of the province. 
322.—Emberiza fucata, Pall. (719.) 
This Bunting is fairly common in some portions of the plains 
round Pegu, in winter.* 
323.—Emberiza rutila, Pall. (722 dis.) 
Mr. Blanford records this from near Bassein, and Captain 
Ramsay from Tounghoo. I have never met with it.T 
324.—Emberiza aureola, Pall. (723.) 
Extremely abundant in every portion of the plains of the 
southern part of the province, and extending up to Thyetmyo 
and Tounghoo sparingly. 
325.—Carpodacus erythrinus, Pail. (738.) 
Captain Ramsay records this bird from Tounghoo. I have 
no doubt it occurs in other parts of the province.§ 
326.—Mirafra microptera, Hume. (755 bis.) 
Very abundant at Thyetmyo, and not, I think, found else- 
where in my limits. 
327.—Alaudula raytal, Bly. (762.) 
Very abundant on the banks of the Irrawaddy from the 
frontier down to Prome. 
328.—Alauda gulgula, Frankl, (767.) 
A very common bird in the cultivated portions of Lower 
Pegu, extending up the Sittang to about Shwaygheen. It is 
* Also west of Tounghoo, and ‘‘ between Tounghoo and Thyetmyo.”—ED., S. F. 
+ The first specimen I think I ever saw of this species was sent from Rangoon, and 
procured in its immediate neighbourhood.—Eb., S. F : 
{£ Mr. Oates does not notice that Blyth gives 724, MgLoPpHUS MELANICTERUS, Gm. 
from Pecu. I have never seen it thence, and I think it very doubtful whether it 
occurs there, though we got it in the plains country of Tenasserim between the 
Sittang and Salween, and I have received it from Arakan,—ED.,, S, F. 
§ We received it from near Thyetmyo,—ED., 8, F,
