No. 145. Pyctorhis subochvaceum, (Swinhoe.) — (The Burmese-spotted 

 Babbler.) 



Seen and heard on several occasions. 



No. 228. Zosterops simplex, (Swinhoe). — (Swinhoe White-eye.) 



Plentiful. Two nests. The birds up here seem to run very near 

 Z. aureiventris as noted by Colonel Rippon in his list of Birds of the 

 Southern Shan States, in having traces of a yellow band down the centre 

 of their underparts. 



No. 243. Atgitkina tiphia, (L.) — (The Common Iora.) 



Very common. Nesting in the beginning of May. 



No. 279. Molpastes burmanictis (Sharpe.) — (The Burmese Red-vented 

 Bulbul.) 



Very common. Breeding during April and May. Some of the birds 

 round Enlya seem to run very near M. nigripileus. 



No. 288. Otocompsa emeria, (Linn.) — (The Red-whiskered Bulbul.) 

 Common near water. 



No. 317. Sitta neglecta, (Wald.)— (The Burmese Nut-hatch.) 



I saw a single Nut-hatch on several occasions near my camp, but failed 

 to find its nest. 



No. 327. Dicrurm ater, (Herm.) — (The Black Drongo.) 



Common. Were still in noisy flocks at the end of April when they paired 

 off and started nesting operations. 



No. 333. Dicrurus cineraceus, (Horsf.) — (The Grey Drongo.) 



Plentiful. I found three nests building but was unfortunate over the eggs . 



No. 335. Chibia holtentotta, (L.) — (The Hair-crested Drongo.) 



Plentiful. An early breeder up here. I found hardset eggs early in 

 April. 



No. 374. Ortkotomus sutorius, (Horsf.) — (The Indian Tailor-bird.) 



Common. 



No. 389. Megalurus palustris, (Horsf.) — -(The Striated Marsh-warbler.) 



One or more pairs in every swamp. Was only successful in finding one 

 nest with hardset eggs. 



No. 382. Franklinia gracilis, (Frankl.) — (Franklin's Wren-warbler. ) 



Plentiful and noisy, but had not started nesting before I left Maymyo. 



No. 451. Horornis pallidipes, (Blan.) — (Blanford's Bush-warbler.) 



A very noisy little bird, and a great skulker, inhabiting thick grass and 

 bracken, and were evidently nesting in May. I made two attempts to find 

 their nests by taking out a party of sepoys and systematically working 

 through every square foot of grass, but failed to find any nest. My two 

 specimens, both cocks, had their testes much enlarged and were evidently 

 breeding. I have compared my specimens at the Museum and think this is 

 the first record from the Shan States. I saw several Cisticola, Suyas, and 

 Prinia, but as they had not begun nesting I did not collect specimens.
