Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay's Notes 
after all, may have been shot in the Thyetmyo district, where 
it is very common; for Major Lloyd had natives collecting 
in several parts of Burma. 
180. Garrulus leucotis. 
Garrulus leucotis , Hume, P. A. S. B. 1874, p. 106. 
This beautiful species is a common bird in both the hills 
and the plains of the Tonghoo district. I first met with it 
in Karen-nee, not far from the Salween river, at an elevation 
of about 3500 feet, 100 miles north of where it was first dis¬ 
covered by Mr. Davison. 
178. Urocissa magnirostris. 
Psilorhinus magnirostris, Blyth (J. A. S. B. 1846, p. 27). 
I have compared a very large series of this bird from 
Burma with nearly as large a series from the Himalayas. 
Although many of the Burmese specimens have the enormous 
bill on which Blyth chiefly founded the species, several fine 
specimens from exactly the same localities have the bill quite 
as small, if not smaller than Himalayan examples. 
The only constant point of difference between the Burmese 
and Indian birds is in the colouring of the bill, feet, and irides, 
as pointed out by Mr. Hume on Captain Feilden's authority 
(S. P. iii. p. 145). 
Mr. Blyth, in his original description of U. magnirostris, 
states that it has the wing more richly coloured than U. occi¬ 
pitalis ; but I have seen a good specimen of the latter bird 
with plumage in all respects as fine as the best of my Bur¬ 
mese skins. 
181. Eulabes intermedia. 
Very common in the Tonghoo district, extending far into 
the plains. Mr. Hume says that Mr. Oates (S. F. iii.p. 152) 
doubts whether it occurs in the plains on the Thyetmyo 
side. 
186. Acridotheres siamensis. 
Acridotheres siamensis, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 303. 
This is the only representative of the genus that I found 
on the Karen-nee plateau.
