A FURTHER LIST OF BIRDS OF THE BHAMO 

 DISTRICT, UPPER BURMA. 



BY 



Major H. H. Harington (92nd Punjabis). 



(Continued from page 313, Vol. XIX.) 



Herewith 1 send a few additions to my list of Bhamo Birds. 

 Those marked with an asterisk* have been either compared with 

 those in the Natural History Museum. South Kensington, or 

 identified for me. 



PARING. 



- (31) Partis atriceps, Horsf. — (Indian grey-Tit.) 



Have seen a fine specimen shot by Major Delme-Radcliffe near Bhamo. 



PARADOXORNITHIN^E. 



'"' (52) Paradoxornis guttaticollis, A. David — (Austin's Crow-tit). 

 Two nests with parent birds were procured by Major O. K. Tancock, 

 P. A., at Sinlum in April 1909. 



CRATEROPODIN^. 



'" (62) Dryonastes ruficollis (Jard. & S.) — (Rufous-necked Laughing 

 Thrush.) 



Very common in the kine-grass jungle round Bhamo ; and as it has 

 been recorded from the Upper Chindwin, probably extends right across 

 Northern Burma. 



TIMELIIN^E. 



;; ' (134) Timelia jerdoni, Walden — (Jerdon's Red-capped Babbler.) 



Very common in low-lying localities. 



* (143) Pellornetxm minus (Hume.) — (Sharpe's Spotted Babbler.) 



Common ; has a note very similar to P. mbochraceum. 



(165ft.) Alcippe Haringtoniee, Hartert. 



B. B. O. C. No. cliv. p. 10. 



" Adult. Most nearly allied to A. phayrei, Blyth, but differs in having 

 a wide black stripe extending backwards from the eyes along the sides of 

 the head and neck, and the outer webs of the primaries darker and less 

 yellow. 



It differs from A. fratercula, Rippon, in having a much larger and blacker 

 bill, and much brighter outer webs to the primaries, which are yellowish- 

 brown instead of olive-brown. 



Culmen 16'5 mm. The wings of two males measure respectively 65 and 

 66 mm. of a female 69.
