A LLST OF BIRDIE FROM ARAKAN. 1:321 



1600. Dafila auuxa. — Pintail. 



Visits x4rakan in enormous numbers from December to March, but as 

 there are few decent jheels, the birds are most often seen in the estuaries 

 of rivers, where they are unapproachable. 



1601. Qtjerquedula circia. — Garganey. 



There are generally a few garganeys with the common teal, but they are 

 not very plentiful. 



1602. Spatula olypeata. — Shoveller. 



Hare. I did not see any during the season 1908-09, but shot three 

 during 1909-10. 



1607. Xykoua baee,i. — Saw about half a dozen altogether, and shot 

 two. In each case the bird was by itself, did not meet with any flocks of N. 

 ferruginea, so assume that the single birds which I saw and did not shoot 

 were N. haeri. 



OEDEK PYOPODES. 



Family Podic'ipedid.e. 



1617. PoDiUBPs ALBiPEN^jiTLs. — Indian Little Grebe. 



Very common. 



This completes my list, which numbers 294 species actually identified.
