80 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. — [No. 1, 
chinensis, L., et O. cochinchinensis, Brisson,—but not O. ACROCHYN- 
cHos, Vigors, of the Philippines. O. Tratzuirt inhabits the higher 
mountains of Burma ; but is not likely to have been obtained by Mr. 
Blanford at Thayet Myo.* 
NECTARINIA astatica, (L.) “ Yenankhyoung.” The most widely 
diffused of the Asiatic species. At Maulmein I obtained N. riam- 
MAXILLARIS, nobis (there common), and N. HasseLTu, Tem. (appar- 
ently rare). The last ranges from Arakan to Singapore; but N 
FLAMMAXILLARIS is replaced in the Malayan peninsula by N. PEctTO- 
RALIS, Horsfield. 
DicHUM CHRYSORREUM, Tem. “ River banks, seventy miles above 
Ava.” Arakan, Tenasserim Provinces, Malayan peninsula. 
D. crurentTatTuM, (L.) “ Thayet Myo.” The most widely ditrus- 
ed of Asiatic species of this genus. I observed it in particular abun- 
dance in the vicinity of Mergui; and it is not rare near Calcutta. 
D. minimum (Tickell) : young, Certhia erythrorhyncha, Latham. 
“River banks seventy miles above Ava.” India generally ; Ceylon ; 
Burma ; particularly common in the jungle-clad hills about Maul- 
main. 
CROCOPUS VIRIDIFRONS, nobis. ‘ Ava.’’ I never obtained this 
green pigeon ; but OSMATRERON PHaAyRrit (p. antea) abounded in the 
forests of upper Martaban, and O, BIcINCTA is common near Maul- 
main, with probably O. PHayRrit also. 
Turnix BLANFORDII, nobis, x. s. Like T. DussumteErfi of India, 
but much larger; holding the same relationship to that species 
which the T. Syxust of India does to the T. anpatusica of S. 
Europe and N. Africa. Col. Phayre had long previously sent a spe- 
cimen of this race from Arakan. Length of closed wing 4 inches. 
TURNIX OCELLATA (Scopoli.) Bengal race. ‘Common in the 
grass on the top of Pappa hill.” The three Indian species of this 
genus were obtained in the vicinity of Thayet-myo by Dr. Jerdon. 
REPTILIA. 
Two “shells” of Tortoises. One from Ava is decidedly Emys 
TRIJUGA, Schweigger, as described and figured in Gray’s Catalogue of 
Shield Reptiles (1855) p. 20 and pl. IV. ‘This species is new to the 
Society’s museum, though stated to inhabit “ ponds at Calcutta.” I
