[60. A. PULCHRA. 



A. pulchra, Hume, Str. Feath. 1873, p. 469. 

 Thayet Myo ( 7F. J2.).] 



61. Glatjcidium: beodiei (J. 80). 

 Noctua brodiei, Burton ; Gould, B. As. pt. xxii. pi. 4. 

 Obtained by Colonel Tick ell upon Moule-it mountain. 

 [Meeta Myo, Kyouknyat (2).).] 



*62. KlNOX scutulatus (J. 81). 

 Khen-bok. 



Arakan, Tenasserim, Malacca. Common. 



" Yery abundant at Tavai ; and though I never heard it at Moulmein, 

 its familiar voice saluted me on the first night of my arrival at Tounghoo" 

 {Mason). 



[Karen hills (Z.); Tonghoo (W. JR.); Thayet Myo (0.); Pahpoon, 

 Kyouknyat, Amherst (J).). Until comparison has been made with Sumatran 

 examples, it will be best to retain the title of the Ceylon species, iV. hirsutus, 

 for the Burman NinoxJ] 



63. Stekitjm selopttto. 



Strix seloputo, Horsfield ; Strix pagodarum, Tem., P. C. 220 ; S. sinensis, vera. ? 

 Latham, not of Hardwicke and Gray. 



Mergui, Siam, Nicobar Islands. In Assam, according to Mr. A. 0. Hume, 

 this species apparently replaces the S. oceellatum of India, and it is " con- 

 stantly found in Burma." 



[Thayet Myo (F.). Identical with Malaccan examples. 8. sinensis, 

 Lath., founded on Sonnerat's Eibou de la Chine (Toy. Indes, ii. p. 185), can 

 hardly refer to this owl.] 



64. S. ikdeani (J. 63). 



This should be the Burmese race, as it occurs at Malacca, as well 

 as in South India and Ceylon ; but Mr. A. Hume has a Burmese specimen, 

 and suspects that "if the Nipal and Nilgiri birds be distinct, the Burmese, 

 Kumaon, Simla, and Kotegurh birds are intermediate between these two." * 



65. Phodiltjs baditjs (J. 62). 



Strix badia, Horsfield ; Gould, B. As. pt. xxii. pi. 6. 

 Arakan, Tenasserim, Siam, Malay countries. 



[Tonghoo, Karen hills ( W. R.). Identical with Malaccan and Bornean 

 examples.]
