OF NORTH-EASTERN CACHAR. 27 



All the preceding precisely similar to Sikhim-killed specimens. 



188.— Yunx torquilla, Lin. 



i( I have only seen this bird once. I managed to secure it ; it 

 was in a patch of reeds. — J. I." 



192— Megalaima Hodgsoni, Bp. 



" This Green Barbet is extremely common all the year ; it is 

 very noisy. — J. I." 



Specimens from Cachar have the wing 5 - 25, 5*35, and vary 

 in the coloring of the head and neck just as Himalayan and 

 Burmese ones do. ( Vide Vol. III., p. 76.) 



195.— Megalaima asiatica, Lath. 



(i The Blue-throated Barbet is rather rare ; but I have seen it 

 at all times of the year. — J. I." 



198 quat.— Megalaima cyanotis, Blyth. 



" This bird is also very rare. — J. I." 



For description, vide ante. Vol. III., p. 77. We already had 

 this species from the Bhootan Doars, Tipperah, and Dacca, so 

 that its occurrence in Cachar was only what might be expected. 



199.— Cuculus canorus, Lin. 



" This Cuckoo arrives about the middle of March and de- 

 parts during August. Tea planters welcome it from its call 

 sounding like ' Want more Pekoe/ — J. I." 



209.— Ololygon rufiventris, Jerd % 



ie I shot a specimen of this bird in July 1874, the only one I 

 have seen. — J. I." 



212.— Coccystes jacobinus, Bodd. 



" I have only met with this Cuckoo once, viz., May 1876. — 



A young bird of this species from Cachar in no way differs 

 from young birds obtained elsewhere in India. 



215. — Rhopodytes tristis, Less. 



" This bird is very common all the year round, frequents 

 thickets, generally seen in plains. — J. I/' 



217 quat. — Centropus eurycercus, Hay. 



" This bird is exceedingly common, frequenting tall reeds 

 and other jungle along the banks of rivers and jheels ; breeds 

 from June to September ; remains all the year. — J. 1."
