 [Tonghoo (W. B.) ; Pahpoon (D.).] 



*416. P. pekegeikus (J. 276). 

 Parus peregrinusj Linn.; Gould, B. As. pt. ix. pi. — 



Arakan, Tenasserim. Common; some of the males very brightly- 

 coloured, and appearing to grade into P. flagrans, Boie, of the Malayan 

 peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. Mr. V. Ball remarks that " Andaman 

 specimens correspond to the darker-plumaged variety of this bird from 

 Madras and Ceylon, from one of which Gould's figure is taken." 



[Tonghoo (Z.); Karen nee {W. B.); Thayet Myo (F.).'] P. flagrant, 

 Boie, in no way resembles P. peregrinus, otherwise than by its small dimen- 

 sions. It is a diminutive form of P. ardens, Boie, which, in its turn, is a 

 small form of P. speciosus. The female of P. flagrans is yellow and grey, as 

 in the other two species. P. peregrinus is a distinct type, and has no known 

 representative in any part of the Malayan sub -region.]

Tenasserim mountains.* 



" These birds resort to dense thickets when alarmed, but will sally out 

 to feed on fruits (wild figs), and they mingle with Barbets and other birds 

 while so doing. The note is low and sweet — a low whistle. Like the Fury- 

 lainii, they are tame and stupid " {Tickett). Heifer also procured this species 

 in the Tenasserim provinces.
