BIRDS OF BKITISH BUEMAH. 
516. CYANOPS DAVISONI. 
DAVISON^S BAEBET. 
Megalaima davisoni, Hume, S. F. v. p. 108 ; Htime 8f Dav. S. F. vi. p. 151 ; Hume, 
8, F. yiii. p. 88 ; Bingham, 8. F. ix. p. 165. 
Description. — Male and female. '^'^ Precisely similar to C. asiatica, but 
somewhat smaller; entirely wants the black crown-band and to a great 
extent the narrow yellowish, line preceding it_, and has these replaced by a 
broader turquoise-blue band^ thus diminishing the depth of the occipital 
red patch ; pectoral red patches rather larger. 
''^Length 8*5 inches, wing 3*9, tail 2'8, tarsus •97/'' [Hume.) 
I have not had the opportunity of examining a specimen of this bird. 
Davison's Barbet is met with at the bases of the lower ranges of 
hills below Mooleyit in Tenasserim, and also in the Thoungyeen valley, 
where Capt. Bingham found it common. It is not yet known to occur 
elsewhere. 
Mr. Davison remarks that the note of this species is precisely similar to 
that of C. asiatica ; and Capt. Bingham discovered two nest-holes in 
March, each with two eggs.

This is another Barbet I have not been able to examine for myself, as
