346 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUR, 



said it was more common there than in India. In Tenasserim 

 it does not, we believe, occur. 



964.— Querquedula crecca, Lin. 



The Common Teal was only observed by me in Manipur at 

 the Logtak lake, and even there it was by no means abundant. 



This species seems to be rather sparingly distributed through- 

 out Assam ; in Sylhet it is common, but in Cachar much less so. 



[Pretty common in Dibrugarh, but very wary. I never 

 saw a flock numbering over 30 individuals. As a rule they are 

 seen in parties of six and eight. — J. R. C] 



It is sparingly distributed throughout Arakan, Pegu and 

 Tenasserim west of the Salween, but it does not occur, I believe, 

 elsewhere in this latter province. 



965— Querquedula circia, Lin. 



The Garganey is far more plentiful in Manipur than the 

 Common Teal, and I shot a good many at other places besides 

 at the Logtak. 



I myself observed this species in several places in both 

 Sylhet and Cachar, and it is common I know in the former 

 district. In the Assam valley it extends up to our eastern- 

 most outpost, but is everywhere, I believe, thinly distributed. 



It is rather common in Arakan, Pegu and Tenasserim, 

 west of the Salween, and is also occasionally shot in the 

 neighbourhood of Moulmein. 



967.— FuUgula rufina, Pall. 



The Red-crested Pochard was only seen at the Logtak lake, 

 and in comparatively very small numbers ; it is one of the 

 rarest of the ducks that I observed on that lake. 



It occurs occasionally throughout the valley of Assam as 

 far as Sadiya, but I have no record yet of its occurrence in 

 Sylhet or Cachar, or in any part of British Burmah. 



968.— Fuligula ferina, Lin, 



The Pochard Was fairly common in small parties about the 

 Logtak, and I shot it also on a j heel close to the capital on 

 the road to Kunjoop, and again in a small jheel far south below 

 Sagam. 



This too has been recorded from various parts of Assam as 

 far east as Sadiya, but not as yet from Cachar or Sylhet, or 

 any part of British Burmah.
