Tenasserim provinces. It is remarked by Mr. "W. T. Blanford, that 

 Pelargopsis hwmannica, Salcyon smyrnensis, and Alcedo lengalensis, are 

 apparently replaced in the Irawadi delta, where the water is salt, by P. 

 amauroptera, H. pileata, and A. asiatica. According to Heifer, Alcedo 

 leryllina, Vieillot (biru, Horsfield), is also an inhabitant of the Tenasserim 

 provinces, but I have never seen it even from the Malayan peninsula. The 

 present, however, is one of the species which Heifer did procure. 



[This is probably A. beavani, Walden, for Mr. Hume remarks that 

 Amherst and Ye examples are identical with individuals from various parts 

 of India and from the Andamans. A. meningting, Horsf., the senior title of 

 A. asiatica, is a perfectly distinct species.]
