Birds of Burma. 167 



[From the total number of birds known to inhabit Burma, 660, as noted 

 in the foregoing list, four must be deducted. Namely : 



1. Palesornis melanorhynchus, apud Blyth. 



2. Teraspi%ias rhodogastra. 



3. Micropternus burmannicii8=M. rufinotus. 



4. Pellorneum minor=P. ticlcelli. 



The next seven species may have been confounded with species also 

 enumerated : 



5. Caprimulgus indicus with C.jotaha. 



6. Cypselus batassiensis with C. infumatus. 



7. Sturnia malabarica with 8. nemorieola. 



8. Brachyurus megarhynchus with B. moluccensis. 



9. Cryptohpha lurhii with C. tephrocephalus. 



10. Orthotomus edela with O.flavi-viridis. 



1 1 . Macropygia rufioeps with M. ammilis. 



And the total may have to be still further reduced by three more species, 

 namely : 



12. Sturnia sinensis, its occurrence not resting on good evidence. 



13. Machlohphus sulviridis, apparently M. spilonotus, juv. 



14. Brachypodius cinereiventris, perhaps a variety only of B. melano- 



The following four species, not separately enumerated, may have to be 

 added : 



1. Megalmma virens, in addition to M. marshalhrum. 



2. Hemixus hildebrandi, in addition to S. flavala. 



3. Criniger griseiceps, in addition to C.flaveolus. 



4. Osmotreron vernans. 



Further investigations will doubtless make known a great many more 

 forms belonging to either Himalayan or Malayan genera. J — "Walden.
