larger Indian and Burmese crow-pheasants into two or more species, 

 and he has inckided them all under the term C. sinensis in his forth- 

 coming third volume of the Birds in the " Fauna of India." 



39. Spizaetus liiinaetus, Horsf. — A skin of the changeable 

 hawk-eagle, procured in the neighbourhood, was shown me at Mogoke. 



40. Circuss pilonotus, Kaup, — A pair of the Chinese pied harriers 

 were seen at Bernardmyo. The entire lower surface of the male, 

 except the chin, was pure white. 



41. FrancoUnus chinensis, Osbeck., the Chinese francolin, was 

 everywhere common. 



42. Arhoricola brunneipectus Tick., Mr. Atlay shewed me a 

 freshly killed specimen of the brown-breasted hill partridge, which he 

 had shot near Katpyin. 



43. Gennceus andersoni, Elliott.— Anderson^s silver pheasant 

 was common throughout our area. 



44. Phasianus humi<e^ Hume.- — Mrs. Hume^s pheasant is no 

 doubt lairly common about the Ruby Mines, but apparently very shy 

 and difficult to get. Mr. Atlay very generously gave me a pair of 

 skins of this very lovely species. The birds had been snared by a 

 native. Mr. Hume discovered this bird in Manipur, and it is note- 

 worthy as being the only species of true pheasant (Phasianus) which has 

 hitherto been found within the strict limits of British India and Burma. 

 I have deposited the skins given me by Mr. Atlay in the Natural 

 History Museum, South Kensington. 



45. Gallus galliis, Linn., the common jungle fowl, was abund- 

 ant in the district, 



46. Scolopax rusticola^ Linn. — Captain Mills assured me that 

 woodcocks were frequently shot near Bernardmyo.
