If MegalcBma hoclgsoni is really distinct from M. lineata, then aU my specimens 

 appear to belong to the former species. The Messrs. Marshall, in their valuable 

 Monograph of this group, give the wing of M. lineata as 4-5 inches : the measure- 

 ments of M. hoclgsoni are not given, but it is stated to be a larger bird. My speci- 

 mens measure from 5 to 5"3 inches. 



This species is a very prevalent form in Upper Burma, and I have seen as 

 many as 40 to 50 in one tree. It is very common about Bham6, but I did not 

 observe it in the hills, or in the high country beyond.

This species is not uncommon in the Kakhyen hills, up which it extends even 

 to the height of 4,500 feet, but I did not observe it to the eastward, in the higher 

 but well- wooded mountains surrounding the Hotha and Sanda valleys.
