198 THE GAME BIRDS OF INDIA. 



932.— Ardetta flavicollis, Lath. 



During the rains this was common in some places in the 

 Meplay and at Laidawgyee. I have shot it also at Kaukarit. 



933— Ardetta cinnamomea, Gm. 



This Bittern, though it seems fairly abundant at Kaukarit, I 

 have never yet seen, (though it probably may occur there,) 

 in the Thoungyeen valley. See also S. F., Vol. VIII., p. 197. 



951— Nettapus coromandelianus, Gm. 

 952.— Dendrocygna javanica, Horsf. 



These two species occur in some of the larger quins (marshes) 

 in the Thoungyeen valley, but never in such numbers as in 

 other parts of the country. I have never seen any Teal or 

 Duck, except these two species, anywhere in the Thoungyeen. 



965.— Querquedula circia, Lin. 



A few of these I observed once in the great Yangoke river, 

 (half marsh, half pond), near Kaukarit in November. 



1007.— Phalacrocorax pygmseus, Pall 

 1008,— Plotus melanogaster, Penn. 



Both these occur, sparsely distributed, throughout the Thoung- 

 yeen valley as elsewhere.

No. 2. 



During the last few months there has been an important 

 addition to the Game Birds of India, in the discovery, in 

 Eastern Assam, of Ceriornis temmincki, the Chinese Crimson 

 Tragopan ; the female of Lop7wp7wrus sclateri, the Crestless 

 Moonal, unknown when our first volume was published, ha3 

 been obtained, and I have received a few notes in regard to 

 species included in both the first and second volumes. 



Of this new information I have now to submit what the 

 Law Commissioners would, I hope, be pleased to accept as an 

 " orderly synthesis."
