The Burmese Slaty-headed Paroquet was ouly met with aniong the hill-f orests 

 of Northern Siarn, 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.

Very common indeed in the North of Siarn 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.

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.
