124. Phasianus humice (1331). — Mrs. Hume's Pheasant. 



Recorded by Col. Rippon. I saw this beautiful bird or it may have 

 been P. burinanicus, 1331a, several times, and generally in the open 

 jungle on rocky grass hills. On one occasion 1 put up five birds singly 

 at intervals of about a minute or two. At one time I thought I had found 

 a nest, as a hen bird rose at my feet, but I hunted everywhere without 

 success. These Pheasants do not seem to be quite so gregarious as 

 O. lineatus, nor so partial to the proximity of water. I should have 

 liked to have shot one or two, but when T saw them I always had my 

 little '410 with me only, which would not have been sufficient to have brought 

 them down. One one occasion I put up a Pheasant out of some wild rasp- 

 berry bushes amongst long grass, the fruit of which it was perhaps feeding 

 on. 



126. Francolinus chinensis (1374). —Chinese Francolin. 



Common 



126. Tut-nix pugnax (1382). — Bustard-Quail. 



Saw a few on the open grass land, two miles East of Kalw. 



127. Grus antigone (1409). — Sarus. 

 Recorded by Col. Rippon. 



128. Sarcogrammus atrimtchcdis (1432). — Burmese Red-wattled Lapwing. 

 Common. 



129. Gallinago stenura (1485). — Pintail Snipe. 



I believe there is good snipe shooting close to Kalaw in the cold weather.
