198 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPURi 



is there any other record of its occurrence anywhere in Assam, 

 Sylhet or Cachar, nor does it extend to British Burmah. 



507*25.— Larvivora cyane, Pall, 



On the 24th of April, in a low forest-clad valley east of 

 Aimole, I came across a party of these birds, and succeeded in 

 shooting one. They must, I think, have been migrating, first, 

 because where stationary they are always single or in pairs, 

 never in parties ; secondly, because, though I twice revisited the 

 spot, I never saw one there again, nor did I ever meet with the 

 species on any other occasion in Manipur. A male measured ; — 

 Length, 5 7 ; expanse, 91 ; tail, 2*03 ; wing, 3 02 ; tarsus, 1*1 ; 

 bill from gape, 0'79 ; weight, 063oz. Legs and feet pale 

 fleshy white ; upper mandible blackish horny ; gape and lower 

 mandible (dusky at the extreme tip) bluish or livid white ; 

 irides blackish brown. 



There is no record as yet of the occurrence of this species 

 in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, nor am I aware that it has been 

 observed in either Arakan or the greater part of Pegu, but we 

 procured it throughout the better wooded portions of Tenas-* 

 serim, and Mr. Oates once obtained a specimen a little south 

 of Pegu city. 



508.— Nemura rufilata, Eodgs. 



I procured a single specimen of this species, a female, high 

 up, a little above Aimole, in the Eastern hills on the 14th of 

 April. I saw the male, but failed to secure it. I saw another 

 pair later at Matchi, and shot the male, but save on these two 

 occasions I never met with it in Manipur.

Bill, legs and feet black, duller in the female ; irides deep 

 brown. 



I have never seen this species from Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, 

 but Godwin- Austen records it from the Khasi hills. It does 

 not that I know of occur in British Burmah. 



Godwin- Austen records 509.— iVem^tra hyperythra^ Bly., from 

 the Khasi hills, but I have no other record of its occurrence in 

 Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, nor has it been observed, so far as I 

 know, in any part of British Burmah.
