[Thayet Myo (F.). Captain Peilden was good enough to send me the 

 example here noted, and which I provisionally identify with A. virgatus. 

 In Mr. Sharpe's opinion it may belong to the race named A. stevensoni by 

 Mr. Grurney. The latter gentleman, however, as will be seen below, identi- 

 fied, although with doubt, this Thayet Myo example, as belonging to " A. 

 rhodogaster, nearly adult." Above, the plumage is dark cyanous. The 

 breast is dove-coloured, without a trace of rufous. The abdomen pure 

 white, with dove-coloured bands. The ventral region and under tail-coverts 

 pure white ; also the throat, with the exception of a mesial line of ash- 

 coloured feathers. Tarsus, 2; wing, 6-25; tail, 5-50.] 



30. Tebaspizias ehodogastba. 

 Nisus rhodogaster, Schlegel ; Tr. Z. S. vol. viii. pt. ii. p. 33, pi. 11. 



Mr. Gurney thus identifies a specimen sent to Lord Walden from 

 Thayet Myo. 



[This refers to the example above mentioned. It is, however, highly 

 improbable that a species peculiar to Celebes should occur in Burma.] 



*3l. MlCfiASTTO baotus (J. 23). 



Arakan, Siam, Hainan. Common. M. soloensis, Horsfield, should be 

 looked for, as it was obtained in the Car Nicobar by Herr v. Pelzeln.* Nisus 

 minutus, Lesson, is identified with it by Dr. Pucheran,-|- being founded on 

 a specimen alleged to have been received from the Coromandel coast. Prof. 

 Schlegel notes it from Java, Celebes, the Philippines, and China. 



[Tonghoo, Karen hills, at 4000 feet of elevation (W. B.); Pahchaun, 

 Pabyouk, Pahpoon {!>.). The Burman race of this species has been separated 

 by Mr. Hume, under the title of Micronisus poliopsis, Str. Peath. ii. p. 325.] 



*32. LOPHOSPIZIAS TETVIBGATA (J. 22). 



Arakan, Tenasserim. 

 [Eastern slopes of the Pegu hills (O.); pine forest north of Kollidoo 

 (Z>.). Hodgson's title of indicus is adopted by some authors for the some- 

 what larger Nipalese race of this Sumatran species.]
