of the Southern Shan States. 561 



419. Dendrocycna fulva (Gmel.). (1590.) 



420. Nettopus coromandelianus (Gmel.). (1591.) 

 Very common. 



421. Anas pcecilgrhyncha Forst. (1573.) 



The specimens which I have sent or taken to England 

 tnrn out to be of this species. I have sent them from as 

 far east as Mongnai. The absence of red spots at the base 

 of the bill does not, as I had formerly believed, prove a bird 

 to be A. zonorhyncha, and, after comparison with specimens 

 in the Nat. Hist. Museum, South Kensington, I have come 

 to the conclusion that I have not met with that species in 

 the Shan States. 



422. Chaulelasmus streperus (Linn.). (1595.) 

 Fairly common at the Fort Stedman lake. In any large 



bag of Duck made on it there are sure to be some Gadwalls. 



423. Nettion crecca (Linn.). (1597.) 



This species and the Blue-winged Teal, Querquedula circia, 

 remain with us up to the beginning of May. They are both 

 plentiful, 



424. Mareca PENELOPE (Liuu.). (1599.) 



A fair number visit the Fort Stedman lake every year. 



425. Dafila acuta (Linn.). (1600.) 

 Common. 



426. Querquedula circia (Linn.). (1601.) 

 Very common. 



427. Spatula clypeata (Linn.). (1602.) 

 Fairly common. 



428. Netta rufina (Pall.). (1604.) 

 Not common. 



429. Nyroca ferruginea (Gmel.). (1606.) 



430. Nyroca fuligula (Linn.). (1609.) 

 Not common. 



431. PoDiciPEs albipennis (Sharpe). (1617.) 

 Common. An enormous number of these birds are to be 



found on the Fort Stedman lake.
