Commom in Mymensing at the base of the Garos, and very nu- 

 merous about the villages in the higher part of the Shunshang or 

 Sumesang river, quite in the heart of the hills. East of the Moish 

 Kulla and even of the Mahadeo river this bird is not seen ; I 

 have never heard them at the base of the Khasi Hills near Teria, 

 and if there are any there they are very scarce indeed. The South 

 base of the Garos may be said to mark the extreme Eastern range 

 of the Indian Bird.
