16. H. EEKTOILLAEII7S. 

 27". fringillarius, Drapiez ; H. malayensis, Strickland ; Falco ccerulescens, apud Vieillot, 

 Gal. des Ois. t. 18; PI. Col. 97. 



Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo. Obtained by Heifer, pro- 

 bably in Mergui province (specimen in Calcutta Museum). In the north 

 of Arakan, K. melanoleucus, nobis,^ will most probably be found to occur, as 

 it has been obtained in the province of Kachar. 

 [Meeta Myo {Davison).'] 



*17. Baza lophotes (J. 58). 

 Arakan, Tenasserim, Malacca. 



18. PEEMS PTILOEHYITCHTJS (J. 57). 



A long-crested specimen received from Mergui, and described as P. 

 brachypterus.] Its primaries were not fully grown. Mr. A. 0. Hume 

 notes it from Burma and Siam. 



[Tonghoo {W. R.)> Thayet Myo (F. and 0,)] 



*19. ElAHTTS MELAINTOPTEEUS (J. 59). 



Arakan, Tenasserim. "Various localities in British Burma" (A. 0. 

 JSume). 



[Thayet Myo {W. 22.), Arakan (0.).] 



*20. Spiloeots cheela (J. 39). 

 Doung-tswoon. 



Common in Arakan, if correctly identified, as is most probable. The 

 nearly allied but smaller race, with shorter crest, 8. bacha (Daudin) ; Falco 

 bido, Horsfield ; Hcernatornis spilogaster, nobis ; H. elgini, Tytler, inhabits 

 the Andamans, South India, and Ceylon, as also Malacca and Java ; and, 

 according to Messrs. Swinhoe and Gurney, is an intermediate race. 



[Tonghoo {W. £.); Thayet Myo (F.). 8. elgini, Tytler, is undoubtedly 

 a distinct species. Nor can I agree to unite 8. spilogaster with 8. bacha. 

 At Kalee Gunge Dr. Day obtained an adult bird, in the rich brown plumage 

 of true 8. bacha. .]

 hood of Amherst and Ye (D.).]
