ASSAM, SYLHET AND CACHAR, 825 



I found it common all about Sylhet and Cachar, and I have 

 it from the Dibrugarh district; of course this too must 

 occur all over the valley of Assam, but the fact is not on 



record. t t? m 



[Far from rare in Dibrugarh in suitable localities. — J. K. CJ 

 It is extremely common throughout the whole of British 



Burmah. 



894— Totanus glottis, Lin. 



This species seemed very scarce about Manipur. I do not 

 think I saw a dozen from first to last, and the majority I did 

 see were about the Logtak lake. 



It was less scarce, but still by no means plentiful in Sylhet 

 and Cachar, in both of which I noticed it on several occasions. 

 I have no record of its occurrence anywhere in the Assam 

 valley, though of course it must occur there. 



[Fairly common in Dibrugarh along the courses of the 

 smaller rivers in small parties and pairs, and occasionally in 

 large pools and "jheels' in pairs or solitary.— J. R. C] 



It is common all over British Burmah in suitable localities. 



895.— Totanus stagnatilis, Bechst. 



Comparatively common about the marshes and water 

 meadows lying around the Logtak lake, but not observed by 

 me elsewhere. I have as yet no record of the occurrence of 

 this species anywhere in Assam, Sylhet or Cachar. 



This species seems scarce in Arakan and Upper Pegu, 

 common in Lower Pegu, and so rare in Tenasserim that we 

 only once met with it there, viz., at the Yeaboo hot springs 

 on the Attaran. 



897. — Totanus calidris, Lin.- 



Very scarce ; only seen at the Logtak lake, and even there 

 only a very few. 



I observed it in both Sylhet and Cachar, but it seemed every- 

 where scarce. It has been sent me from N.-E. Cachar. I 

 have no record as yet of its occurrence in any part of the 

 Assam valley. 



[Rare, I should say in Assam, as only one was seen by me m 

 seven years, and that was one day when shooting duck in a large 

 iheel, which was overgrown with weeds and patches of tall reeds, 

 at the mouth of the " Desang " river in the Sibsagar district.
