94 Birds of Burma. [No. 1, 



*209. P. MOOTAKT/S (J. 710). 



The common house Sparrow everywhere to the eastward of the Bay of 

 Bengal, its range extending southward to the Malay countries, and eastward 

 to China and Japan, Formosa, and the Philippines.

P. flaveolus, nobis, J. A. S. B. xxxi. p. 344. Passer jugiferus, Tern., Bonap. Consp. 

 At. i. p. 508. 



Arakan, Upper Pegu ; " abundant in the bushes near Thayet Myo ; also 

 common further up the Irawadi" ( W. H. Blanford). Doubtful as an inhabi- 

 tant of the Philippines, as alleged of P. jugiferus, which I identified with the 

 present species in the Boyal Museum of Natural History at Leyden. Accord- 

 ing to Mason, this species " is found throughout the country," but he shows 

 that he did not recognize P. montanus to be the common Sparrow of the 

 country ! 



[" Iris, in ? , brown ; bill above, pinkish brown, below somewhat paler ; 

 legs brownish. Karen nee" {W. P.). One example, a female, has the 

 mandibles crossed as in Loxia, the maxilla to the left, the mandible to the 

 right.]

*212. Caepodactjs eettheintjs (J. 738). 



Arakan. 



[Tonghoo (W. P.).] 



Subfam. Embebizmji; (Buntings). 



*213. Etjspiza atjbeola (J. 723). 



Arakan, Pegu, Tenasserim, China. Occurs in large flocks in the interior, 

 which migrate northward to breed. 



[Tonghoo (Z.). Mirafra flavicollis, McClell., as long since stated 

 by Horsfield and Moore, is the female. E, flavogularis, Blyth, is also 

 synonymous. In the H. List, No. 7679, McClelland's title is made to re- 

 present a distinct species, and that of Mr. Blyth is treated as a synonym of 

 M. flavicollis.]
