AVIFAUNA OF CHOTA NAGPUR. 415 



Singhbhum, and Lohardugga. What other species occur is 

 uncertain. Captain Beavan believed that he got fuscatus, liigubris, 

 nitidus and viridanus* but was not quite satisfied as to their 

 identification. My own collection is very weak in these small 

 birds; further specimens and more critical examination of the 

 species is requisite, so I shall only insert one other about which 

 there can be no doubt. 



154.— Phyllopseuste affinis, Tichell. Motacilla 



apud Tichell. (561.) 



TickelFs Tree Warbler was first obtained in Singhbhum. It 

 has since been obtained in other parts of the Division. 



155.— Reguloides proregulus, Pallas. (565.) 



I have obtained the Crowned Tree Warbler in Palamow. I 

 also found it in the Satpuras. 



156.— Abrornis (Culicipeta) cantator, Tichell 

 Motacilla apud TickelL (570.) 



The Lesser Black-browed Warbler is another of Colonel 

 Tickell's species which has escaped subsequent collectors in the 

 districts where it was first obtained. 



157.— Sylvia Jerdoni, Blyth. (581.) 



The Large Black-capped Warbler was once obtained by Captain 

 Beavan at Kashurgurh in Manbhum. I did not meet with it 

 in any part of Chota Nagpur, but observed it not unfrequently 

 in the Narbadda valley at the foot of the Satpura hills. 



158.— Motacilla madraspatana, BHss. (589.) 



The Pied Wagtail occurs, I should say, in all the larger 

 and many of the smaller rivers of Chota Nagpur. I find 

 in 1869 1 noted it as rather rare in Singhbhum, and Captain 

 Beavan says he only met with it in the Co=sye river, where how- 

 ever it was tolerably common. But on the whole I consider it to 

 be one of the birds most commonly met with in the rivers of 

 Chota Nagpur. 



159.— Motacilla luzoniensis, Scop. (590.) 



The White-faced Wagtail is common in Chota Nagpur. I have 

 specimens from Singhbhum, Manbhum, and Hazaribagh.
