"These very rare birds in Tenasserim," remarks Col. Tickell, "are met 

 ■with in shady deep narrow streams in forests, whether in the tideway or 

 remotely inland. They swim rapidly, but seldom dive ; and although emi- 

 nently aquatic in conformation, resort, strange to say, for safety to land. 

 Scrambling up the steep banks when shot at, and running with unexpected 

 rapidity into dense thickets, its flight is like that of the Coot, or Water-hen, 

 squattering along the surface of the water." *
