230 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUR, 



Cachar, and it does not, that I know of, extend to any part 

 of British Burraah. 



5896is.— Motacilla hodgsoni, G. R. Gr. 



I only saw this Wagtail in the basin. It was rather 

 common about the capital and northwards of this, though 

 much less so than the next species, and growing more and 

 more rare southwards. I met with this species in several parts 

 of Cachar, and I have it from Gauhatti and the Dibrugarh 

 district. Godwin- Austen procured it at Tezpoor, and records 

 it from the Eastern Naga hills ; beyond this its distribution 

 in Assam, Sylhet and Cachar is not yet ascertained. I am not 

 aware that it has been recorded from any part of British 

 Burmah, but I have one typical specimen formerly erroneously 

 set down as luzonensis (leucopsis) from Dargwin in Northern 

 Tenasserim. 



[This Wagtail is pretty common in the cold weather. —

590.-— Motacilla leucopsis, Gould. (=M. luzonensis, 

 apud Auct.) ( = M. felix, Swinh. v. X, p. 224, n.) 



This was abundant on the boulders of the dry bed of the 

 Limata, in the Kopum ThuU, and all over the basin of 

 Manipur. 



This species is widely diffused all over Assam, Sylhet and 

 Cachar, though not as a rule ascending the hills much above 

 3,000 feet. I have it from too many localities for it to be 

 worth enumerating ; it is clearly found everywhere except 

 high up on the higher hills. 



[The commonest Wagtail in Dibrugarh, where I have shot 

 them as early as the 9th September. They frequent open 

 country, tea gardens, paddy fields, roads, even where these 

 lead through forest, and beds of rivers. — J. R. C] 



It occurs in Arakan, throughout Pegu and in the northern 

 half of Tenasserim, always, as a rule, in open or cultivated 

 country only. 



5915«s. — Motacilla dukhunensis, Sykes. 



This species was, I think, scarce in the basin of Manipur ; 

 at any rate I shot very few, but both preceding species are much 

 more conspicuous, and I may have overlooked it ; anyhow I 

 only preserved specimens from the capital, Bishnoopur and 

 Kokshin Koolel.
