DiSTRiBUTiOK. — Recorded by Hampson from the Nilgiris, by Watson from the 

 Chin Hills, Chin Lushai and Mysore, by de Niceville from Kumaon, Bholahat, Malda, 

 Bhutan, Chittagong and Pegu ; we have received many examples from the Khasia 

 Hills. Staudinger has recorded it from the Philippines ; H. H. Druce, who has 

 examined Staudinger's type, says ardeola is identical with dana (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1895, 

 p. 579, footnote).
