815. HiRUNDO TYTLBEi. — Ty tier's Swallow. 

 Fairly common. 



817. HiRUNDO JAVANicA. — Nilgiri House Swallow. 



I failed to satisfy myself as to whether these birds are resident throughout 

 the year, but I obtained eggs from some cliffs by the sea at Kyaukpgu 

 at the end of March, and the birds are common in winter. Gates does 

 not record this bird from Burma. 



818. HiBUNDO SMiTHii. — Wire-tailed Swallow. 



Common. Nest with 4 eggs from a cliff on the Lemru river, N. Arakau 

 April 12, 1909. 



822. HiRUNDO NEPALBNSis. — Hodgson's Striated Swallow. 



Appears to occur only in N. Arakan, where I met with it in April and 

 May fairly commonly. 



Family Motacillid^. 



Wagtails are very numerous in Arakan. The following were actually 

 i "entified, but there are probably others. 



8 '26. Motacilla alba. — White Wagtail. 



Common everywhere. 



828. Motacilla ocularis. — Streak-eyed Wagtail. 



Upper Kaladan, N. Arakan, November 1908. 



832. Motacilla melanope. — Gray Wagtail. 



Common in winter ; earliest date of appearance September 20, 1909, 



834. Motacilla flava. — Blue-headed Wagtail. 



Not uncommon. 



839. LiMONiDROMXJS iNDicus. — Forcst Wagtail. 



Twice seen in January and February 1909 but I failed to secure either 

 specimen. I have shot it elsewhere in Burma, and once identified. It is 

 easily recognised, so may be unhesitatingly recorded. 



845. Anthus richaedi. — Richard's Pipit. 



Common. 



847. Anthus rttpuluSc — Indian Pipit. 



Common everywhere, and I saw a pair carrying nesting materials in 

 February ; but as I was on the march, I did not look for the nest. 



850. Anthus rosaceus. — Hodgson's Pipit. 



A young bird, Akyab racecourse, 24th November 1908. Just assuming 

 the pinkish tinge on head and neck ; breast and sides heavily streaked. The 

 specimen, which I had intended to preserve, was unfortunately stolen from 

 my verandah by a crow ! 



Family ALAUDiDiE. 



861. Alauda gulgula.— Indian Sky-Lark. 



Resident and breeds from March to May, in _both of which months I 

 got nests.
