Note. — Burmese Grey-Duck. — Of the 35 shot at Tongyi, 3 showed slight 

 traces of red on the bill evidently due to " spot-bill" blood and 

 one each at Nawngmun and Tankobin, in none were the spots- 

 perfect. 



White-eyed Pochard. — Major Whitehead says in 1895-96 he did not 

 know the difference between the Eastern and Western birds, and some may 

 have been the Eastern white-eye {N. baeri). 



Whistling Teal. — -Major Whitehead also says no account was kept of 

 these whether they were the larger or smaller species. 



Grey-lag. — Several shot this year, had the nail at the end of the bill dark 

 horn colour instead of whitish. I could however see no other difference- 

 between them and the other grey-geese shot at the same time. This year 

 there was a great deal of water about and birds not all plentiful. In. 

 Mr. Gabbett's note for 1896, he says very little water and birds plentiful.
