324 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUE, 



Joonkotollee in Dibrugarh ; beyond this, I know nothing of its 

 distribution in Assam. I did not observe this species in 

 Manipur ; one would say that it was certain to occur there, 

 but though I kept a very sharp look-out for all birds of this class, 

 I certainly never saw it. 



[Fairly common in suitable localities in the district of 

 Dibrugarh.— J. K C] 



This species occurs throughout British Burmah, but seems 

 scarce everywhere, except in Central Tenasserim and the tract 

 between the Salween and Sittang. 



891.— Rhyacophila glareola, Lin. 



Pretty common everywhere, especially about the sides of the 

 ditches, dykes, and tanklets that are studded about the capital 

 and its suburbs. 



This species is also pretty common in both Sylhet and Cachar, 

 in many parts of both of which I observed it myself, and 

 from whence I had previously received specimens. I have also 

 received specimens from two or three localities in Dibrugarh, 

 and doubt not that it occurs throughout the valley ; but I 

 do not know that this is the case. 



[Common during the cold weather in Dibrugarh, frequenting 

 wet ditches, pools and river beds. — J. R. C] 



Throughout British Burmah it is universally distributed ; 

 and, though perhaps rather scarcer in Lower Pegu, is on the 

 whole fairly common everywhere. 



892. — Totanus ochropus, Lin. 



Very common all about the Manipur basin, and often seen 

 also about the streams inside the hills. 



It was almost equally common throughout both Sylhet and 

 Cachar, and I have it from the Dibrugarh district, but 

 beyond this have no actual ktiowledge of its distribution in 

 Assam. 



[This too is very common in Dibrugarh during the cold 

 weather, and found in the same places as the last species.— 

 J. R. C] 



In Pegu and Arakan it is fairly common, but in Tenasserim 

 it is very scarce. 



893. — Tringoides hypoleucus, Lin. 



The common Sandpiper was pretty common in Manipur 

 alike in the Kopum Thall, the basin and the streams of the 

 lower valleys of the hills.
