ASSAM, SYLHET AND CACHAR. 85 



I have received 240. — Piprisoma agile, Tick., from N.-E. 

 Cachar, but there is as yet no other record of its occurrence 

 anywhere in Assam, Cachar or Sylhet. In British Burmah, Mr. 

 Gates records it from E. Pegu, and says he procured a speci- 

 men from Malewoon, in regard to which latter, however, I 

 think there must have been some mistake. 



241.— Myzanthe ignipectus, Rodgs. 



Very common on the Limatol range in the Western and 

 at Aimole on the Eastern hills, but these were the only places 

 where I preserved specimens, and I do not know that I met 

 with it elsewhere in Manipur. 



I have this from Shillong, and Godwin- Austen also notes it 

 from the Khasi hills, but I have no other record of its occur- 

 rence in Assam, Cachar or Sylhet, though of course, like numbers 

 of other species of which the same has to be now said, it will 

 probably prove, when the province is better explored, to be 

 widely distributed wherever there are hills of four or five 

 thousand feet and upwards. 



In British Burmah it occurs in the higher hills of Central 

 and Northern Tenasserim and in Karenee. In Pegu and 

 Arakan I do not know of its occurrence. 



From Joonkotollee (Dibrugarh district)* I have received 

 242. — Pachyglossa melanoxantha, Hodgs., and Godwin- Austen 

 obtained it from Sopvomah in the Naga hills. I have 

 no other record of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, 

 and I never met with it in Manipur, It does not extend, 

 so far as is known, to any part of British Burmah. 



God win- Austen records 244. — Certhia nipalensis, Hodgs., 

 from the Naga hills, but I have no other record of its oc- 

 currence in Assam, Sylhet, Cachar or Burmah, and I did not 

 meet with it in Manipur. 



Again Godwin-Austen records 245. — Certhia discolor, Blyth, 

 not only from the Dafla hills, in regard to which iden- 

 tification I have no doubt, but also from the Naga and East 

 Naga hills, the specimens from which, as also Ramsay's from 

 Karenee, must I suspect belong to the next species. I have 

 no other record of the occurrence of discolor in Assam, Cachar 

 or British Burmah, nor did I meet with it in Manipur. 



* [Pachyglossa melanoxantha is very rare in the Dibrugarh district. I handled 

 only one specimen, a male, whose measurements were : — Length, 4'1.5 ; expanse, 

 7"10 ; tail, 1'55 ; wing, 2-38 ; tarsus, 0-50 ; bill from gape, 0-43 ; weight, 0-35oz. 

 Bill above horny brown, below livid ; legs and feet plumbeous ; irides orange 

 red.— J. R. C]
