Birds of Burma. 



167 



[From the total number of birds known to inhabit Burma, 660, as noted 

 in the foregoing list, four must be deducted. Kamely : 



1. Palmornis melanorhynchuSj apud Blyth. 



2. Teraspizias rhodogastra. 



3. Micropternus hurmannicus=lf£. rufinotus. 



4. Pellomeum minor— P. ticlcelli. 



The next seven species may have been confounded with species also 

 enumerated : 



5. Caprimulgus indicus with C.jotaha. 



6. Cypselus batassiensis with C. infumalus. 



7. Siumia malabarica with S. nemoricola. 



8. Brachyurus megarhynchus with B. moluccensis. 



9. Cryptolopha hurlcii with C. tephrocephalus . 



10. Orihotomus edela with O.flavi-viridis. 



1 1 . Macropygia ruficeps with M. assimilis. 



And the total may have to be still further reduced by three more species, 

 namely : 



12. Sturnia sinensis, its occurrence not resting on good evidence. 



13. Machlolophus suhviridis, apparently M. spilonotus, juv. 



14. Braehypodius cinereiventris, perhaps a variety only of B. melano- 



cephalus. 

 The following four species, not separately enumerated, may have to be 

 added : 



1. Megalcema virens, in addition to M. marshallorum. 



2. Kemixus hildebrandi, in addition to H. flavala. 



3. Criniger griseiceps, in addition to C.flaveolus. 



4. Osmotreron vernans. 



Further investigations will doubtless make known a great many more 

 forms belonging to either Himalayan or Malayan genera.] — Waldest.
