FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE KACUlN HILLS. 451 



A woodcock was shot within a mile of the Eastern wall of 

 Mandalaj^ fort early in December. 



I myself saw a woodcock about 15 miles north of Mandalay. 

 Another officer saw three in the same place. 



Hume and Marshall say the Shoveller duck is not to be found in 

 Burma. This is incorrect. I shot several near Bhamo. 



The painted quail is to be found near Pegu. I have seen wild 

 goats on Byingyi hill, which is between Pyinmana and Yameltren, 

 about 30 miles to the east of the railway. This hill is over 6^000 

 feet high. Bison and elephant tracks were very numerous there, 

 but the hills are very steep and the jungle thick. The top of the 

 ranffe itself is bare.
