1601. QuvqipAu'd circia.—l'he Garganey or Blue-winged Teal. 

 Numerous, and supplies more birds to a day's bag than any other variety. 

 I hey come in October and leave us in March or the first week in April. 

 1602. Spatula clypeata. — The Shoveller. 

 A fairly common migrant. 



1606. Nyroca ferrugmea. — The White-eyed Duck. 

 This and the next two species are very erratic in their visits to us. Some- 

 times one or even two may fail to put in an appearance at all during the year. 

 0' the three, N. ferruginea is probably the most common. 



16i)7. Nyroca baeri. — The Eastern White-eyed Duck. 



1609. Nyroca fuligul 'a.— The Tufted Duck. 



1610. Clavgula gliuciun. — The Golden-eye. 



I shot a goldan-iye in the district once, but the occurrence is not properly 

 authenticated as I unfortunately lost the skin. 



1615. Podicipes cristalus. — The Great Crested Grebe. 

 Mr. Bertram Carey shot one of these birds near Myingyan about Xmas 1899. 



1617. Podicipes alb/pennis. — The Indian Little Grebe, or Dabchick. 

 Common, and breeds in most of the tanks and jheels. I have taken eggs in 

 December and January and also in August and September, so I fancy they 

 breed twice in ihe year.
