 c. ^- d. Molay river, 7th September 1868. 



I shot four specimens of tliis species on the Upper Irawady, where they were 

 very abtxndant in the month of September. I had passed over the same ground on 

 the previous February without seeing any, but in September, in favourite haunts, 

 they were gathered in large flocks. At the mouth of the Molay river, a few miles 

 above Bhamo, there was in September a peHcamy occupying about four or five large, 

 but not very high trees, which were white with these birds. 



Among the above birds there is but one adult.
