on some Burmese Birds.

Lord Tweeddale described this bird from a single specimen 
which I obtained at Monkey Point, near Rangoon. So far as 
I can ascertain, his description was published several months 
before that of Mr. Hume, although the number of f Stray 
Feathers 9 in which the latter appears bears the publishing 
date of May. 
471. Rubigula flaviventris. 
This species is very common in the plains, and also in the 
hills up to a moderate elevation. I found a nest containing 
two eggs in April at the foot of the Karen hills ; but they 
were unfortunately either lost or broken in transit; so I am 
unable to give a description of them. 
480. Irena puella. 
The Fairy Bluebird never occurs in the Karen hills, except 
on their western slope, according to my experience. There¬ 
fore it would appear from this fact, and the statement of Mr. 
Oates (quoted in S. F. iii. p. 131, line 13), that it is confined, 
in Northern British Burmah, to the valley of the Sittang 
river and the adjacent slopes of the Yoma and Karen hills. 
I observe, however, that (p. 130) Mr. Hume has examined 
specimens from Thyetmyo. 
481. Analcipus trailli. 
In the hills only, at 2000 feet and upwards. 
511. Dxjcula griseicapilla. 
JDucula griseicapilla, Walden, Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, 
xvi. p. 228. 
Iris greyish white; orbital skin greyish brown; bill red¬ 
dish plum-colour, whitish at the tip. 
Confined to the higher parts of the Karen hills, where I 
found it very difficult to obtain. 
514. Alsocomus puniceus. 
This is a most stupid and easily obtained Pigeon near 
Tonghoo. In a grove of trees where they happen to be feed¬ 
ing, any number may be secured; for they will return almost 
immediately to the same spot from which they have been
