ASSAM, SYLHET AND CACHAR. 219 



1 am not aware that this has ever as yet been procured in 

 Assam, and though I believe Gates has procured it in Pegu,* 

 I only know for certain of its occurrence in British Burmah 

 in the southern half of Tenasserim. 



558-— Phylloscopus lugubris, Bly. 



This species seemed common at the beginning of February 

 in the Jhiri level, but I never met with it again in any part 

 of Manipur. The following are particulars of three males : — 



Legs, feet and claAvs brown, sometimes with a greenish 

 tinge ; upper mandible blackish brown ; lower mandible and 

 gape and in one edges of the upper near the tip horny to 

 fleshy yellow ; irides deep brown. 



I have this species from N.-E. Cachar, Shillong, and 

 Khowang in the Dibrugarh district, and Godwin-Austen 

 procured it, I gather, in the Garo hills, but this is all I know 

 of its distribution in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar. 



In British Burmah, where I daresay it is widely distributed^ 

 I only have it from Southern Pegu, and the northern 

 half of Tenasserim. 



Godwin- Austen records 560. — Phylloscopus viridanus, 

 Bly., " from high grass in bheels near Chatak " in Northern 

 Sylhet. I did not meet with this in Manipur, nor have 

 I any other record of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet or 

 Cachar. Blyth records it from Arakan, but I do not 

 think it occurs elsewhere in British Burmah. 



The specimens recorded by me, VI, 356, as viridanus were 

 plumheitamus and hurmanicus, Brooks, which is now 

 said to be also plumbeitarsus. 



[Not nearly so common in the Dibrugarh district as 

 P. fuscatus. This species affects damper spots than that one, 

 being found in paddy fields and reedy ground. — J. R. C] 



561. — Phylloscopus affinis, Tide. 



I procured a single specimen of this, the only one I 

 saw, at Kokshin Koolel in the Manipur basin on the 7th of 

 April. I am sorry to say I forgot to measure it — a great 



* Since this was written he has recorded (X, 22-2) meeting with it in 

 S.-E. Pegu.
