462 Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay's Notes 
of February 1876 I found these birds very numerous in a 
seeding bamboo jungle near Pegu. 
They migrate northwards in April, soon after the com¬ 
mencement of the hot weather. 
In Karen-nee they are also common. 
214. Emberiza rutila. 
The common Bunting of the higher Karen hills, but also 
found, but rarely, in the plains of the Tonghoo district. 
216. Emberiza pusilla. 
Also common enough at all elevations. I obtained a spe¬ 
cimen in the Andaman Islands in March 1873. 
217. Melophus melanicterus. 
I found the Crested Bunting very common in the Karen 
hills up to 3000 feet, particularly so on the Karen-nee plateau 
in March 1874. This is by far the commonest Bunting in 
the Karen-nee country, where the rocky scrub-covered hill¬ 
sides seem to suit it. It is particularly fond of the neigh¬ 
bourhood of tiny streams covered over with bushes in the 
open country. Their note, which is uttered on the wing, is 
a rather pleasing whistle, quite unlike that of any other 
Bunting. 
230. Motacilla ltjzonensis. 
The White-faced Wagtails arrive in Tonghoo in the early 
part of September, and are then found in considerable flocks 
on the parade-ground and other open spaces; but after a few 
days they disperse, and are then invariably to be seen in 
pairs, male and female, about the rocks and houses. At this 
period the male has the head and upper parts black; whilst in 
the female the head is black or grey, or mottled with both 
colours, but the back always ashy. On examining a very 
large series, of which the sexes have all been carefully ascer¬ 
tained by myself, it appears that in the months of September 
and October, although the head of the female is liable to 
variation in colour, yet its back is invariably ashy, whilst 
that of the male is black. By the end of the year the head 
of the female is always grey, of the same colour as the back;
