was of this description. The want of the collar is probably due to 
immaturity. 
Tlie Banded Kingfisher is found both in Pegu and Tenasserim. In the 
former Division I procured it on the eastern spurs of the Pegu hills 
between Thayetmyo and Tonghoo^ and Capt. Wardlaw Ramsay on the 
Karin hills to the east of Tonghoo. In Tenasserim it was observed by 
Mr. Davison from Amherst down to the southernmost point of the Division, 
and by Capt. Bingham in the Thoungyeen valley. 
It ranges down the Malay peninsula and occurs in Sumatra and Java. 
The specimens I procured on the Pegu hills were shot in a rocky stream 
in a dense evergreen forest. Mr. Davison^ who had more opportunities 
of observing it, states, however, that this species is not usually found near 
streams, but in dense forests, feeding on lizards, woodlice, &c.
