590. Alseonax mcttui.— Layard's Flycatcher. 

 Resident, but not common. 



592. CuliciCAPA CEYLONENSIS.— The Grey-headed Flycatcher. 



A common resident. Several of these little fly-catchers may often be seen 

 in company hunting for insects. If disturbed, however, they separate, so 

 they cannot be said to go in flocks. 



593. Niltava grandis. — The Large Niltava. 

 Resident, but rare. 



594. Niltava sundae a. — The Rufous-bellied Niltava. 



Not uncommon at high elevations and often descends to the plains — a rare 

 thing with either of the other Niltavas. 



595. Niltava macgrtgori/e. — The Small Niltava. 

 A common resident, as low down as about 2,000 feet. 



599. Terpsiphone affinis. — The Burmese Paradise Flycatcher. 



Resident, but rare, except on the borders of Sylhet and Cachar. I saw ore 



bird with four long tail feathers on the Gowhatty road. 



601. Hypothymis azurea. — The Indian Black-naped Flycatcher. 



Common. In the mixed bamboo and scrub jungle below Oherrapoonji a 



dozen pairs may be met within an hour's walk. 



603. Ohelidorhynx hyfoxanthum. — The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. 



Very rare and keeps to the very highest ravines. I do not think that it is 



ever found below 4,000 feet, though in Lakhimpur we obtained it in the plains. 



605. Rhipiddra albicollis.— The White-throated Fantai] Flycatcher. 



Very common. It is extraordinarily plentiful in ekra jungle all round the 



foot of the Hills, 



Family TURDID^. 



Subfamily Saxicolin^;. 

 608. Pratincola caprata. — The Common Pied Bush-Chat. 

 Very common. I am inclined to think that a few of these birds may remain 

 to breed. A Khasia collector had two skins labelled June. 

 610. Pratincola maura. — The Indian Bush-Chat. 

 Very common, 



614. Oreicola jerdoni. — Jerdon's Bush-Chat. 

 Common and resident. During the cold weather it is, of course, quite com- 

 mon in the plains, but it ascends to Hills above some 3,000 feet in the breeding 

 season. 



Subfamily Ruticillin^. 

 631. Henicurus guttatus.— The Eastern Spotted Forktail. 

 Common on all streams. 



633, Henicurus immaculatus. — The Black-backed Forktail. 



Not uncommon. This little Forktail keeps far more to damp forest paths 

 and open spaces than do the other species of the same genus. 



634. Henicurus leschenaulti. — Leschenault's Forktail. 

 Rare. This seems to be its extreme south-western limit.
