16$ LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUR, 



Western hills also. This species is well known, but no accurate 

 flesh measurements, &c., have ever been recorded, so I may 

 subjoin the particulars I noted.

_ Legs and feet greyish or brownish fleshy or fleshy brown ; 

 bill brown to blackish horny, horny grey at gape, basal portions 

 of lower _ and more or less of extreme tips of both mandibles ; 

 irides white, with a faint greenish tinge. 



Note, a rather remarkable fact hitherto overlooked. All the 

 males I obtained had grey lores, while all the females had them 

 fulvous brown. 



This species has been procured by Godwin- Austen in the 

 Khasi and Naga hills, but I have no other record of its occur- 

 rence anywhere in Assam, Sylhet, Cachar or British Burmah. 



There is another species, 421. — Trochalopterum rvfignUre, 

 Gould., which I have from Shillong, and which Godwin- 

 Austen also records from the Khasi and Dafla hills, but of 

 which I saw nothing in Manipur, and of the occurrence of 

 which anywhere in Assam, Sylhet, Cachar or British Burmah we 

 have no record save the above. This is a very variable species, 

 and my remarks, VII, 155, should be referred to. 



422. — Trochalopterum phoeniceum, Gould. 



I only saw or procured this species at Aimole and Matchi 

 on the Eastern hills. This is another species of which accurate 

 details were wanting. 



Legs and feet brown, with a purplish or in others reddish 

 fleshy tinge ; bill black or blackish ; irides brownish maroon, 

 lac red, crimson ; bare skin round and behind eye leaden dusky 

 to grey. 



I have this species from Shillong and the Khasi hills, but 

 I am not aware that its occurrence anywhere else in Assam, 

 Sylhet, Cachar or British Burmah has been recorded. 



4256is.— Trochalopterum virgatum, G.-Aust. 



^ This species I found only in the higher portions of the Eastern 

 bills, about Aimole, Matchi and Tankool Hoondoong.
