218 LIST OF BIEDS IN MANIPUR, 



Chatak and Bholaganj in Northern Sylhet, and I have it from 

 Northern and North-Eastem Cachar ; also from Shillong and 

 other places in the Khasi hills, from Gauhatti, and from Sadiya 

 and other places in the Dibrugarh district ; and Godwin-Austen 

 procured it in the woods of the Terai below the Dafla hills. 



[Occurs as a seasonal visitant, being very common in Dibru- 

 garh, where it is never seen in dense forest, but about villages, 

 cultivation, hedgerows, and tea gardens. They arrive about 

 the middle of September, and leave in all April. — J. R. C] 



This species is common in Arakan, and occurs in suitable 

 localities all over Pegu, and in Tenasserim (where, however, 

 it is scarcer) from Tavoy northwards. 



556.— Phylloscopus magnirostris, Blyth. 



I shot a single specimen of this (14th February) on the Lima- 

 tol range of the Western hills, about half way down the slope, 

 and I never procured and do not think I ever saw it again. 



Male. — Length, 5"3 ; expanse, 8'3 ; tail, 2'05 ; wing, 2"65 ; 

 tarsus, 0"73 ; bill from gape, 0'63 ; weight, 0"42oz. Legs, 

 feet and claws pale plumbeous, greenish on the two 

 latter ; upper and tip of lower mandible dark brown ; rest 

 of lower mandible and gape yellowish fleshy ; irides deep 

 brown. 



I have this species from Shillong, but have no other record 

 of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar. 



Blyth gives this from Arakan, I have not seen it yet from 

 Pegu, and have it only from the central portions of Tenasserim. 



5566is. — Phylloscopus borealis, Bias. 



Of this also I only procured a single specimen, at Aimole, 

 on the Eastern hills at about 5,500 feet elevation, on the 

 15fch of April. This was a male, but I also add for compa- 

 rison the exact measurements (not previously published) 

 recorded by Davison of a female killed in the Meplay Choung, 

 Tenasserim, on the 1 5th October : —
