ASSAM, SYLHET AND CACHAR. 105 



In Burmah I have many specimens from Northern Pegu, 

 and know that it is sparsely distributed throughout that 

 province. Ramsay got it in the Karen hills, and we have, 

 procured it, or had it sent us, from many places in Northern 

 and Central Tenasserim. 



294— Chelidorhynx hypoxantha, Bly. 



I only once obtained this species, and that was below 

 Tankool Hoondoong in the Eastern hills. 



I have never seen it myself from any locality in Assam,. 

 Sylhet or. Cachar, but Godwin- Austen records it from the Khasi 

 hills, and found it very common in the Dafla hills. 



Ramsay obtained it in the Tonghoo hills at the extreme- 

 north of Tenasserim (as officially demarcated, naturally it is the 

 extreme N.-E. of Pegu), but I have never seen it from, nor 

 have I any other record of its occurrence in, any part of British, 

 Burmah. 



295.— Culicicapa ceylonensis, Sws. 



Common everywhere in the Western hills, not met witb 

 in the basin, common again at Aimole, but comparatively rare 

 elsewhere in the Eastern hills. 



We have this from N.-E. Cachar, Northern Sylhet, Shillong^ 

 and Joonkotollee in Dibrugarh, and Godwin- Austen records it 

 from Cherrapoonjee and includes it in his Dafla hill list. 



[Pretty common in the Dibragarh district, where it frequents. 

 forests, especially the shady spots, where it flits about after 

 insects, which it takes always on the wing. I have never 

 seen this species going about in parties as mentioned by 

 Jerdon. — J. R. G] 



This species is found in suitable localities throughout 

 British Burmah. 



296. — Hemichelidon sibiricus, Gm, 



The only locality at which I met with this species in 

 Manipur was at the very summit of a wooded hill near 

 Aimole, elevation about 6,000 feet, and here I shot four. 



I dare say it occurs on all the highest hills of Manipur, 

 but this was the only place where I shot it, and the only place, 

 I think, where I saw it, though one of my men said he saw it 

 on the Limatol range. 



I have this from near Shillong, and Godwin- Austen also 

 notes it from the Khasi hills, but I have no other record of 

 its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar. It has also been
