Family TuKDiDiE. 



608. Pkatinoola capkata. — Common Pied Bush Chat. 



Common and breeds. 



610. Pratincola MAURA. — Indian Bush Chat. 



Common winter migrant. 



631. Henicubus GUXTATUS. — Eastern Spotted Forktail. 



On Kyaukpaudaung only. I obtained a nest of the usual Forktail type 

 with three fresh eggs on May 8th, 1909. The nest was in a cleft of a rock 

 over water. 



633. HeNICURUS IMMACULAXUS. 



Common along all jungle streams, and occasionally seen in Akyab can- 

 tonments. Breeds March and April. 



638. Chimarrhornis ietjcocephalus. — White-capped Redstart. 



Not common, but occasionally met with near waterfalls in perennial 

 streams. Probably breeds, as I have seen it as late as April. 



646. PtHYACORNis FULIGINOSUS. — Plumbcous Redstart. 



A single female. N. Arakan. Cold weather. 



663. COPSYCHUS SAULARis. — Magpie-Robin. 

 Common. 



664. CiTXOCiNCLA MACRURA. — Shama. 

 Not common. 



686. G-EOCiCHLA ciTRiNA. — Orange-headed Ground Thrush. 



Only met with on Kyaukpaudaupg, in evergreen jungle at about 4,000 

 feet. I got three nests on May 8th and 9th, 1909, containing respectively 1 

 fresh, 3 slightly incubated and 2 hard set eggs. The nests were of the 

 visual type, placed in the fork of a sapling in each case. 



693. Petrophila cyanus, — Western Blue Rock Thrush. 



Common from October to about April. A few arrive in September. This 

 bird occasionally sings most beautifully but very rarely. 



698. ORBOCiisrcLA dauma. — Small-billed Mountain Thrush, 



Ruchaung, N. Arakan, March 1910. Appears rare. 



Family PLOCEiDiE. 



720. Ploceus baya. — The Baya. 



Common . 



723. Ploceus manyab. — Striated Weaver-bird. 



Common. 



725a. MuNiA oryzivora. — The Java Sparrow. 



I met with a flock of six on September 26th, 1909, when snipe shooting : 

 they were feeding on grass seeds, like common munias. Again, in March 

 1910 I saw a pair in Akyab cantonments and a single specimen in the 

 paddy fields in April 1910. The birds are known to the Arakanese villagers, 

 so the species may be taken as thoroughly established in Arakan.
