124? LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUB, 



dippers love, but from Shillong I have several specimens of 

 34<9bis.— Gindu8 pallasi, Tem. Godwin- Austen indeed gives 

 847. — G. asiaticus, Sws., from Shillong, but my specimens do 

 not, I consider, belong to this species, and his description 

 leads distinctly, it seems to me, to the conclusion that the birds 

 before him were pallasi and not asiaticus. 



Godwin-Austen gives 350. — Zoothera monticola, Vig., from 

 both the Khasi and Dafla hills, but I did not meet with it 

 in Manipur, nor have I any further record of its occurrence in 

 Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, nor does it, so far as we know, extend 

 to British Burmah. 



3506is.— Zoothera marginata, Bly. 



I believe I saw this both on the Limatol range and two or 

 three times on the higher ranges of the Eastern hills, but I 

 never could shoot it. One of the Nagas, however, brought in 

 a tailless male that he had snared somehow. Of this the 

 expanse was 161, the wing 5"17, the tarsus 1*15, the bill 

 from gape 1"55, and the weight 3'42ozs. 



The legs and feet very pale brownish fleshy ; the claws 

 browner ; the bill blackish brown, livid whitish at gape and 

 'on base of lower mandible ; irides deep brown. 



I have no knowledge of the occurrence of this species any- 

 where in Assam, Sylhet and Cachar, with the exception 

 of the West Khasi hills, whence Godwin- Austen records it. 



Blyth records it from Arakan, and it occurs in the North 

 Pegu hills, Karenee, and the hills of Northern and Central 

 Tenasserim. 



351.--Cyanocinclus cyanus, Lin. 



Common enough in the Western hills, alike on the high 

 Limatol ridge and on the boulders of the Barak, the Eerung 

 and the Limatak, and not rare in the basin, where I often 

 saw it not only out in the country but occasionally perched on 

 the Residency outhouses ; but in the Eastern hills I never 

 shot one, nor can I certainly remember ever seeing it there. 



All the specimens I preserved, over a dozen, and indeed 

 all the birds I saw, belonged to this form, not one showed a 

 single rufous feather. 



I have this from N,-E. Cachar and met with it in 

 many places in both Sylhet and Cachar. Godwin- Austen 

 records it from the Khasi hills, whence I have not received 

 it, so I suppose it is scarce there, and as regards the valley of 

 Assam, I do not seem to have a single record of its occurrence.
