226 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUR, 



[I found these in heavy forest, and shot them while they 

 were flitting about the topmost branches. They are far from 

 rare, and are permanent residents. — J. R C] 



Then Godwin-Austen records from Sadiya, 57'2,ter. — . 

 Abrornis fiavigularis, G.-Aust., of which nothing further is 

 known, and which may be a good species, but may also well be 

 a carbolized bleached specimen of A. jerdoni, which seems 

 common in that part of the Dibrugarh district. 



574. — Abrornis superciliaris, Tick 



Only once met with below Tankool Hoondoong in the 

 Eastern hills — a single greatly injured but unmistakeable 

 specimen brought in by one of the Nagas. 



I have this from Tippook in the Dibrugarh district, and 

 Godwin-Austen records it from the Garo hills, and that is all 

 we know of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet and Cachar. 



This species occurs in both Northern and South-eastern 

 Pegu, and is generally distributed in well- wooded localities 

 throughout Tenasserim, but I have no other record of its 

 occurrence in British Burmah. 



From Joonkotollee, Dibrugarh, I have 575. — Abrornis 

 poHogenys, and God win- Austen records it from Cherrapoonjee 

 in July, but I failed to observe this in Manipur, and beyond 

 the above we know nothing of its distribution in Asesm, Sylhet 

 and Cachar or British Burmah. 



[Pretty common in Dibrugarh, in forest, where they keep to 

 the upper branches of the trees. — J. R. C] 



576.— Abrornis afl&nis, Hodgs. 



I shot one specimen of this in low-wooded hills near Sagam, 

 in the southern part of the basin of Manipur, on the 29th 

 of March. I never again met with it. There was a party of 

 six or seven, but I only succeeded in getting one, and that 

 was skinned before I got in and so I did not measure it. 



I have this from Shillong, Godwin- Austen procured it in the 

 Naga hills, but I know nothing further of its distribution in 

 Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, and am not aware that it extends to 

 any part of British Burmah. 



577.— Abrornis albogularis, Eodgs. 



Of this too I only shot a single specimen at Aimole on the 

 Eastern hills, at about 5,000 feet elevation, on the 16th April,
