236 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUK, 



[Common in Dibrugarh, keeping to paddy fields, waste 

 lands and road sides. — J. E,. C] 



Except in Northern Pegu, whence I have not seen it, 

 though even there it probably occurs, this species is common 

 in suitable localities all over British Burmah. 



I may note that from Joonkotollee, Dibrugarh, I have a speci- 

 men that must df the two species are maintained) be recorded 

 as 6006^s. — Corydalla malayensis, Eyt. This has occurred 

 at the extreme south of Tenasserim, but, so far as I know, 

 nowhere else in Assam, Sylhet, Cachar or British Burmah. 



[Having preserved only one specimen, I cannot say if this 

 bird is common or not — J. R. C.] 



601.— Corydalla striolata, £ly. 



I only preserved two specimens of this — one shot close to 

 the capital, one at Kokshin Koolel. They are probably 

 scarcer in Manipur than either rufula or richardi, as I pre- 

 served, I find, about twenty of each of these and only two of 

 striolata. 



I have this from Shillong and many places in the Dibrugarh 

 district, where it must be common right up to and beyond 

 Sadiya, and Godwin-Austen records it from the Mahadeo peak, 

 Asalu, but this is all I yet know of its distribution in Assam, 

 Sylhet or Cachar. 



[Common in Dibrugarh, where it is a permanent resident.— 

 J. R. C] 



In British Burmah I only know of its occurrence as a rare 

 straggler in Southern Tenasserim, but it must, I should suppose, 

 occur equally in Pegu and Arakan. 



605.— Anthus rosaceus, Eodgs. 



Rather rare in Manipur, where however one occasionally 

 comes across it in the basin in small parties in damp 

 localities. 



I measured a few, all males, as they turned out : —
