GLOSSARY OF BURMESE NAMES. 
It is almost unnecessary to say that tlie natives of Burmah have names 
for only those birds which^ from their size, abundance, gaudy plumage, 
or other peculiarities, attract notice. The following glossary contains all 
those names which, in the course of a long residence in Burmah, I have 
heard applied to birds. I have also added some given by Dr. Masoii ; * 
for, although I am personally ignorant of them, they, are likely to be in 
common use in Tenasserim, where Dr. Mason long resided.
