(340) MoTACiLLA HODGSONi. — Hodgson's Pied Wagtail. 

 Hume, No. 589 Bis. : Oates, No. 820. 

 Very common ; one of the first Wagtails to appear and nearly the 

 last to leave. Possibly a resident on some of the higher ranges. 

 (341) MoTACiLLA MELANOPE. — The Grey Wagtail 

 Hume, No. 592 ; Oates, No. 832. 

 This bird and the next are probably the earliest of our autmnn 

 arrivals amongst this genus, and are certainly the last to leave. Both 

 are very common and may be met with from October until quite late 

 in April, a few birds remaining to the end of that month and even 

 into May. 



(342) MoTACiLLA FLAVA.— The Blue-headed Wagtail. 

 Hiime, No. 593 Ter. (part) : Oates, No. 834. 

 (343) MoTACiLLA CETKEOLA. — The Yellow-hcaded Wagtail. 

 Hume, No. 594 Bis. ; Oates, No. 837. 

 (344) MoTACiLLA CETEEOLOIDES. — Hodgson' s Yellow-headed Wagtail. 

 Hume, No. 594 ; Oates, No. 838. 

 A rather rare visitor ; not nearly so frequently met with as the last. 

 (345) LiMONiDROMUS iNDicus. — The Forest Wagtail. 

 Hu7ne, No. 595 ; Oates, No. 839. 

 This Wagtail is not rare on the higher ranges throughout the cold 

 weather, but below 3,500 ft. is less often met with. On the 7th May, 

 1891, 1 obtained a nest and three eggs, together with one of the parent 

 birds. It was taken in a tiny sheltered valley at an elevation of nearly 

 6,000 feet. The Nagas informed me that they had not before known 

 of the bird breeding anywhere in their hills ; so it is probable that it 

 seldom remains throughout the year, even in the highest parts. 

 (346) Anthus maculatus.— The Indian Tree- Pipit. 

 Hu7ne, No. 590 ; Oates, No. 341. 

 Almost, if not quite, the most common bird in the North Cachar 

 Hills throughout the cold weather, and it has been seen by me so late 

 that 1 think it must stay to breed on some of the higher ranges. It 

 is quite common everywhere up to the end of April and even during 

 the early part of May. 



(347) Anthus richardi.— Richard's Pipit. 



Hume, No. 599 ; Oates, No. 845. 

 Very common throughout the cold weather.
