222 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUR, 



565.— Reguloides superciliosus, Gml. 



This is the common Reguloides of Manipnr. I got it all over 

 the basin, and procured a few also in both the Eastern and 

 Western hills. It was very abundant and very variable in 

 size and colours of soft parts and tint of plumage.

Legs and feet a darker or paler brown, or yellowish brown 

 or brownish green, or brownish fleshy, the majority perhaps 

 exhibiting a distinct green tinge, and the feet being common- 

 ly paler and purer coloured than the tarsi ; soles generally 

 yellow ; upper mandible, and generally the tip of the lower 

 a more or less dark brown ; rest of lower mandible and gape 

 dull yellow, reddish or fleshy yellow, light brown or whitey 

 brown ; irides in most deep brown, in a few reddish brown. 



Common as I suspect this must be all over Assam, I have 

 specimens only from Shillong, and beyond this there seems 

 absolutely no record as yet of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet 

 or Cachar. It seems generally distributed, of course, in the 

 cold season all over British Burmah. 



From Shillong I also have the doubtfully distinct species 

 B65ter. -^Reguloides Tnandellii, Brooks, vide S. F., VIII, 390, 

 481. I met with no specimens like this in Manipur, nor have 

 I seen any from Burmah. 



566. — Reguloides proregulus, Pall. 



Though numerically far less abundant than swperciliosus, 



this was equally generally distributed, and I got it alike in the 

 basin and in the Eastern and Western hills : —
