less also the species of which Mr. Hume 

 remarks : — " Rather scarce in Manipur. 

 I saw it however at two j heels, besides 

 the Logtak, where it was often seen 

 without its being at all in force." Mr. 

 Hume apparently did not shoot any of 

 these birds in Manipur, for there are 

 no specimens from that country in the 

 Hume Collection, and he appears to have 

 assumed that the Manipur birds were of 

 the common Indian species. 



Captain F. T. Williams informs me 

 that a Pochard of this type is found on 

 the Chindwin river. Captain T. S. John- 

 son found a White-eyed Pochard common 

 near Mandalay, and Major G. Rippon 

 writes to me that he is aware of the 

 difference between the two White-eyed 

 Pochards, and that to the best of his 

 belief he has obtained the Eastern species 

 at Shwebo, Minhla, Sagain and Meiktila 

 in Upper Burma, and at Fort Stedman 

 in the Southern Shan States. 



This Eastern White-eye is found in 

 summer in Kamtschatka and Eastern 

 Siberia. In winter it migrates to Japan 

 and China, and it will probably be found 

 to be a common bird at that season 

 throughout the Indo-Burmese countries. 

 Upper Burma and the Shan States.
