on some Burmese Birds. 463 
but that of the male is still black, whilst the black of the 
back becomes mottled with grey in some specimens. 
It leaves Burma in April, before the commencement of 
the rains. 
Motacilla alba. 
Lord Tweeddale identified two of my Wagtails as M. duk- 
hunensis; but I am unable to detect them in my collection. 
Indian examples seem difficult to separate from Motacilla 
alba of Europe. Blyth remarks (Ibis, 1865, p. 49) of this 
Wagtail, “Like the European M. alba, but somewhat larger, 
and with considerably more white on the wings. - ” Specimens 
from Spain and Asia Minor, in both summer and winter 
plumage, have the wing quite as white as examples from 
Ahmadnagar. 
238. Hydrornis oatesi. 
Hydrornis oatesi, Hume, S. F. i. p. 477. 
A common enough bird in the hills. It is perfectly fear¬ 
less. I have had one hopping about on the ground quite 
close to me, and turning over the dead leaves in the most 
unconcerned manner. It is usually found in the evergreen 
forests. 
246. Petrocossyphus cyaneus. 
Arrives in Tonghoo about the middle of October. 
247. Orocetes erythrogaster. 
The Chestnut-bellied Thrush must be added to the Cata¬ 
logue of the f Birds of Burma 3 as I obtained a specimen from 
the hills in January 1876. 
255. Oreocincla dauma. 
Both this bird and 0. mollissima occur at Tonghoo and in 
the hills. I obtained it at 5000 feet in April. 
263. Cyanecijla suecica. 
I obtained two specimens in the Pegu plain in December 
1873. 
313. Garrulax pectoralis. 
The commonest Chatterrer of Karen-nee, where I never
