12 LIST OF BIKDS IN MANIPUB, 



hills just north of Manipur.* Again P. ichthyaetus is found in 

 many parts of British Burmah from the extreme north to the 

 extreme south, and P. humilis has occurred on both the 

 Tenasserim and Arakan coasts. Nevertheless, though constantly 

 on the watch for, and fully expecting to meet with, some 

 species of this genus, I certainly never saw or heard (and 

 this genus too has a perfectly unmistakeable cry) any 

 Folioaetus during the four months I was in Manipur. 



42.— Haliaetus leucoryphus, Pall. 



Common in the southern portion of the Manipur basin; 

 rare elsewhere. At the Logtak lake there were several 

 pairs, and they were very common along the lower course of 

 the Imphal Turail. 



This species occurs throughout Sylhet and Cachar and in 

 the valley of Assam, but as in Manipur it does not seem to 

 enter the hills to any great distance. 



[Common and a permanent resident in Dibrugarh and 

 throughout Assam along the banks of large rivers. When 

 steaming up the Brahmaputra river, nests of this species can 

 be seen everywhere high up in the " Bombax " trees that grow 

 so plentifully on the churs. — J, R. C] 



It is found in the plains portion of Eastern Pegu and the 

 western plains portion of Tenasserim, but does not get quite 

 so far south as Moulmein I believe, and has not yet been 

 recorded from Arakan. 



47.— Buteo plumipes, Hodgs. 



A single specimen of this in the light plumage figured in 

 the Fauna Japonica was obtained in the Eastern hills in April. 



I have received it from the Khasi hills, but from nowhere 

 else as yet in Assam, Cachar or Sylhet, and from only a few 

 localities in British Burmah, where it is a rare straggler, viz., 

 Thayetmyo and Tonghoo in Upper Pegu and Thatone in 

 Northern Tenasserim. 



It is noteAvorthy that I met with no species of Butastur 

 in Manipur, and that no species seems ever to have been 

 recorded from any part of Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, though 

 both teesa and Uventer occur in the northern portions of 

 Burmah and indicus in the south of that province. 



* And which Cripps apparently found in Dibrugarh. He says : — 

 \_Polioaetus plumheus, Hodgs. — That there was a second species of Folioaetus 

 in Dibrugarh I have no doubt, as on the "wing, its smaller size, excess of white 

 below, and being found only in densely. wooded river banks, at once distinguishes 

 it. They are however so very shy that I never bagged a specimen, although 

 on aeveral occasions individuals were fired at. — J. R. C.]
