16 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA.

*62. Ceylon Spur Fowl, Galloperdix hicalcarata. V. 



63. Blue-breasted Quail, Excalfactoria chinensis. V. 



64. The Bustard Quail, Turnix pugnax. S. 



65. Coiunion Sandpiper [M], Totanus hypoleucus. V. 



66. The Woodcock [M], Scolopax rusticula. A very rare 



migrant. 



67. Solitary Snipe, (?) Wood Snipe [M], Gallinago nemoricola, 



(seen only once). V. 



68. Pintail Snipe [M], Gallinago stenura. S. 



69. Jack Snipe [M], Gallinago gallinula. S. 



70. Cattle Egret, Bubulcus coromandus. V 



71. Fond Heron, Ardeola grayi. V. 



72. White-breas'ed Water-hen (rareh^ flushed bin vOiV 



common). Amaurornis phoenicurus. 



' It will be noted that waterfowl are rare in Dimbula, because 

 water is rarelj' stagnant, but I suspect the existence of man}'^ rails 

 and waterhens seldom flushed. 



I suggest that for educational purposes a case in the Colombo 

 Museum containing Dimbula birds would be of great value. 1 

 would also suggest that photographs be made of the rarer birds 

 for general guidance from shot specimens. A careful search in the 

 Medakumbura Valley should show many unrecorded species, and 

 some Patena dwelling birds, Pipits, &c., still require identification.
