ORDER EURYL^MI. 



Family EuRYiiEMiD^. 



I only met with two species, both on Kyankpaudaung. These were : — 



943. Seriiophxts rubbipygius.— Gould's Broadbill. 



944. PsARisoMus DALHOUSiiE.— Long-tailed Broadbill. 



I got nests of both, May 7th to 9th, but whereas I only got one of P. 

 .dalhousice, I got about half a dozen of <S^. ruhripygms. and frequently saw 

 the birds. 



ORDER PIOI. 



Family Picid.e. 



In my nine years' experience of Burma, during which I have served in some 

 ten " districts," I have never struck a place in which the Pici are so scarce as 

 in Arakan. This is doubtless accounted for by the immense areas of 

 bamboo jungle, and the paucity of tree growth ; but even in ordinary tree 

 jungle, woodpeckers are far less numerous than usual. I wonder if the 

 proximity of the sea, and the heavy rainfall has anything to do with this. 

 The following list is complete as far as my observations went, as I did not 

 see a single woodpecker which I failed to identify. 



951. Gecinus ohlokolopuus. — Small Himalayan Yellow-iiaped Wood- 

 pecker. 



Common. 



.958. Gecinulus grantia. — Northern Pale-headed Woodpecker. 



Fairly common in the bamboo jungle. 



■967. Dbndrocopus biacii. — Fulvous-breasted Pied Woodpecker. 



Common ; nest in Akyab in a bamboo which had been used as a post in a 

 <leserted hut, June 1909, with three young. 



988. TiGA JAVANENSis. — Common Golden-backed Three-toed Wood- 

 pecker. 



Very common. 



992. Chrysocolaptes guxticrlstatus. — Tickell's Golden-backed Wood- 

 pecker. 



Common. 



995. Hemicerous canente. — Heart-spotted Woodpecker. 

 Fairly common. 



996. Hemilophus pulverulekius. — Great Slaty Woodpecker. 



I only saw one pair, and found the nest hole on May 10th, 1910, but it 

 proved inaccessible to my great disappointment. It was in a huge 

 ■" Kauyin " (wood-oil) tree, fully eighty feet from the ground. 



1002. Sasia ochkacea. — Rufovis Piculet. 



•Common.
