The Burmese Slaty-headed Paroquet was only met with among the hill-forests 
of Northern Siam, but here it was not uncommon though it only occurred in pairs and 
small flocks, never assembling in large parties like the other kind of Paroquets. It 
always keeps to open forests and was never met with in the damp evergreen jungles. 
237. Paleornis fasciata. P. L. 8. Mixx. — The Red-breasted Paroquet.

Very common indeed in the North of Siam generally occuring in large flocks and 
frequenting the open forests and the bamboo-jungles.

The Indian Loriquet is generally distributed throughout the whole country, 
though it is nowhere very common. It occurs in bamboo-jungles or in old clearings in 
the deciduous forests and it was never met with, as far as I remember, in the evergreen 
jungles. In the Siamese Malaya I never observed it though it probably occurs. 
Fam. Strigide. 
239. Strix flammea javanica. Gm. — The Javan Barn-Owl. 
Striz flammea: Gyldenstolpe I p. 61; Williamson I p. 46; Gairdner p. 150. 
Stria javanica: Finsch & Conrad p. 345. 
The Javan Barn-Owl was quite common in Bangkok where numbers of specimens 
were seen at night-time in the gardens and open places. In no other part of the country 
did I observe it during my travels, though it most probably occurs in and around towns 
and villages.
