ASSAM, SYLHET AND CACHAR. 221 



. following my record :— Length 5-0 ; expanse, 77 ; tail, 

 21^ ; wing, 2'Q ; tarsus, 071 ; bill from gape, 0*56 ; 

 weight, 0'28oz. Legs and feet pale brown, yellowish 

 on feet, yellow on soles ; upper mandible brown ; lower 

 mandible pale horny orange ; irides brown. 



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

 in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, and in British Burmah I only 

 know of its occurrence in the southern half of Tenasserim, 

 where (though Mr. Seebohm entirely ignores this as a habitat) 

 it is really rather common, and South-Eastern Pegu. 



564. — Reguloides trochiloides, Sund. 



Rather common in the Western hills, not seen in the basin 

 or in the Eastern hills : — 



The legs and feet varied much, the legs from brownish or 

 yellowish grey to pale bluish, at times with a greenish tinge, 

 and the feet from greenish to fleshy yellow; soles whitish ; 

 the upper mandible darker or lighter brown ; the lower, and 

 gape, and sometimes edges of upper mandible, pale orange 

 to bright or again deep yellow ; irides deep brown. 



I have this from Shillong and Cherrapoonjee, and Joonko- 

 toUee in the Dibrugarh district, and Godwin-Austen records 

 it from_ the Noa Dehing, and this is all I know of its distri- 

 bution in Assam, Sylhet and Cachar. 



[I only secured a single specimen in the Dibrugarh district, 

 a female. Length, 4-35; expanse, 6-50; tail, 1-60; wing, 2-25; 

 tarsus, 066 ; bill from gape, 0-55 ; weight, 0-25oz. Bill above 

 dusky, below orange yellow ; legs and feet horny blue ; soles 

 olive yellow ; irides dark brown. — J. R. C.] 



It occurs all over Pegu and in Northern Tenasserim and 

 Karenee, but beyond that I have no knowledge of its distribu- 

 tion in British Burmah, though it is sure to occur in Arakan also. 



Godwin- Austen also records from the low country of the 

 Dunsiri, Assam, 5QUer. — Reguloides fulvoventer, which has 

 greatly puzzled us all, and of which nothing but the original 

 record is known. I suggest that it is a carbolic-acid-bleached 

 specimen of 570.— Abrornis cantatoi% Tick. I got this idea 

 from Lord Walden, who thought it might be a carbolized 

 bleaching of his Abrornie chryseus (see further p. 225).
