1870.] A Second List of Birds from the Khasi hills, Sfc. 273 



823. Oetygoknts gularis, T e m m i n c k. 



I have seen a specimen shot by Lt. R. B e a v an on the Cherra 

 Punji plateau ; a pair brought up a brood in the garden at Em- 

 maville in the same place last summer, 1869. It is curious to find 

 this bird, with a habitat in the swampy grass jungle at the base of 

 the hills, ranging so high as 4000 ft. 



831. Excalfactoria chinensis, Linn. 



This handsome little game bird comes in at Cherra about August.

870. Gallinago stenura, T e m m. 



Length 4**, w. 4f, t. 2-3", tr. 1-18", bill at f. 2-3". I first observed 

 this bird on the 5th April solitary on the edge of a stream flowing 

 through the marches between Chatak and Bolagunj ; several were 

 flushed and I bagged a couple, one of which I observed running 

 along the muddy edge of the water like an Actitis, which I at first 

 took it to be ; they were by no means wild, flying a short distance 

 and setting by the water up stream. Proceeding and shooting along 

 the same river 12 days after I did not see one, they had evidently 

 all passed to the north.
