352 LIST OF BIRDS IN MANIPUR, . 



I have as yet no knowledge of the occurrence of this species 

 in any part of Assam, Sylhet or Cachar, though I dare say it 

 occurs in all. 



[This species begins arriving in the district about June, and 

 by October large flocks are seen flying about. They leave about 

 January. — J. R. C] 



This species frequents the same localities as the last in 

 British Burmah, but it is more generally diffused over, and is 

 more of a permanent resident in both Arakan and Pegu. 



Godwin- Austen records 1005. — Phalacocorax carbo, Lin., from 

 the Lumessary river, near Rywick, in the Garo hills. I have 

 as yet no other record of its occurrence in Assam, Sylhet or 

 Cachar, and I did not meet with it myself in Manipur, though, 

 according to the Logtak boatmen, it would seem to occur 

 there occasionally. 



[Flocks of these were seen by me on the Dehing river 

 above Makum. — J. E,. C] 



This species is very common in Lower Pegu and in the 

 southern portions of Tenasserim west of the Salween. It 

 occurs, though sparingly, in Arakan and Upper Pegu, and in 

 Tenasserim, east of the Salween, and south of Moulmein, has 

 only been observed at Tavoy. 



1006. — Phalacrocorax fuscicoUis, Steph. 



This was common at the Logtak lake (though less so than 

 the next species), but I saw it nowhere else in Manipur. 

 I have no record of the occurrence of this species in Assam, 

 Sylhet or Cachar. It is very common in the creeks between 

 the Sittang and the Salween, but was not observed by us 

 elsewhere in Tenasserim. It is very common again in Lower 

 Pegu, near to and west of the Sittang, but scarce elsewhere, 

 apparently, in that province. I have no record of its having 

 been observed in Arakan. 



1007.— Phalacrocorax pygmseus, Pall 



This species was common to a degree all over the Manipur 

 basin, and at the Logtak lake it literally swarmed. One of 

 these little Cormorants perched on the top of a bare tree is an 

 invariable adjunct to every Manipur view. 



I observed this on several occasions in Sylhet. I saw it 

 close to Silchar and have received it from N.-E. Cachar. I 

 have it also from Joonkotollee in the Dibrugarh district, and 

 know of its occurrence in most of the districts of Assam.
