8. Corvus insolens, Hume. _The Burmese House-Crow_.

Corvus insolens; _Hume; Hume, Cat._ no. 663 bis.

The Burmese House-Crow breeds pretty well over the whole of Burma.

Mr. Oates, writing from Pegu, says:--"Nesting operations are

commenced about the 20th March. The nest and eggs require no

separate description, for both appear to be similar to those of _C.

splendens_."

When large series of the eggs of both these species are compared,

those of the Burmese Crow strike one as _averaging_ somewhat brighter

coloured, otherwise they are precisely alike and need no separate

description.
