220 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUE, 



pity, as it is a species of which accurate flesh measurements 

 and weight are desiderata. 



We have it from Shillong, Gauhatti and Joonkotollee 

 in the Dibrugarh district, and Godwin- Austen also notes 

 it from the Khasi hills, and procured it in the plains below 

 the Dafla hills, but this is all I know as yet of its distribution 

 in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar. 



As for British Burmah, I have never, so far as I can remember, 

 seen a specimen thence, and though Blyth long ago noted 

 that Sir A. Phayre had procured both this and P. indicus 

 in the Tonghoo district, he subsequently excluded both 

 from his list of the birds of Burmah. 



I have 562. — Phylloscopus indicus, Jerd., from Dollah in 

 the Dibrugarh district, and Godwin-Austen procured it at 

 the base of the Garo hills, but I did not meet with it in Mani- 

 pur ; there is no other record as yet of its occurrence in Assam, 

 Sylhet or Cachar, and I am not aware (but see concluding 

 remarks on P. affi^ni-s, ante) that it has certainly ever 

 occurred in British Burmah, though it doubtless will prove to 

 do so, 



Godwin-Austen procured 563. — Reguloides occipitalis, Jerd., 

 at the head of the Jhiri river, N. Cachar, on the very 

 frontier of Manipur, but I failed to find it there, and I have 

 no other record of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, 

 nor have I any certain knowledge of its occurrence in any 

 part of British Burmah. I hope Godwin- Austen will re-examine 

 this specimen and make sure it is not a faded specimen of 

 the next species.

I procured one lovely specimen of this, the most brilliant 

 of our Willow Warblers, at Kalanaga in the Western 

 Manipur hills on the 4th of February. There were four 

 or five, and I shot a second, but failed to find it in the dense 

 jungle into which it fell. My bird was a male and the
