MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 673 



tain had a nest but I could not find it. Eventually as I wanted a specimen 

 I shot one of them, which proved to be the female. In her ovident I found 

 an unformed egg. Shortly after shooting the bird I found the nest nearly 

 completed. It was buUt into a mossy bank and the exterior of the 

 nest being composed of moss it was difficult to distinguish from its sur- 

 roundings. It was lined with fine grass and fern stems. 



680. Merula obscura— The Dark Ouzel. — Only one specimen obtained 

 by Robinson. 



690. Petrophila erytJiogastra — The Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush.— A 

 solitary bird seen on several occasions round the Hotel at the beginning 

 of April, and now I come to think of it, it had probably a nest near by but 

 at that time I had unfortunately not begun to look for nests. 



706. Cochoa purpurea — The Purple Thrush. — Only one specimen seen, 

 which was procured. 



726. Munia atricapilla — The Chestnut-bellied Munia. — Saw a party of 

 munias I took to belong to this species, beside a swampy stream. 



735. Uroloncha punctulata— The Spotted Munia — Common, and found 

 many old nests but no new ones in April. They probably nest later on in 

 the rains. 



761. Carpodacus erytJirinus — The Common Rose-Finch. — One specimen 

 brought to me from the lower hills. 



801. Emberiza rutila — The Chestnut Bunting. — One specimen obtained 

 at beginning of April. 



841. Anthus maculatus — The Indian Tree-Pipit. — Seen everywhere 

 along the roads. Only one specimen obtained. 



907. Arachnothera aurata — The Smaller Streaked Spider-hunter. — 

 One specimen obtained. 



909. A. longirostris— The Little Spider-hunter.— Seen on several 

 occasions. 



Flower-peckers. — The twittering of these little birds I frequently heard, 

 but owing to the density of the forest it was very difficult to observe 

 such small birds and I did not shoot any. 



955. ChrysopMegmaJlavinucha — The Large Yellow-naped Woodpecker. 

 — This is the only species of the larger Woodpeckers I obtained. All the 

 large species were conspicuously uncommon and very wary, also the 

 density of the forest was a great hindrance in following up the birds. 



968. Dendrocopus atratus — The Stripe-breasted Pied Woodpecker. — 

 Common. I obtained two specimens, a male and a female. 



975. lyngipicus eanicapillus — The Burmese Pigmy Woodpecker. — 

 Common ; a male and a female obtained. 



1012. Cyanops asiatica — The Blue-throated Barbet. — I did not see 

 this species at Thandoung itself, but a specimen was brought to me from 

 the lower hills.
