Stray Feathers 1888 99 Vol 11 PDF Download

Excerpt from Stray Feathers, 1888-99, Vol. 11: A Journal of Ornithology for India and Its Dependencies Now I propose to say, firstly, a very few words about the Manipur state itself and its inhabitants; secondly, to give a brief sketch, reproduced from my diary of my trip to it, so that people may realize how one gets to it, and some thing of what kind of place it is; and, thirdly, as this may be my last opportunity of putting on record for the benefit of brother ornithologists the results of my personal experiences in these matters, I wish to submit a few remarks on the nature of the records that collectors on expeditions like mine to Manipur will, I believe, find it desirable to maintain. All this will constitute the introduction to my paper, which will itself consist of a complete list of all the species certainly ascertained to occur there. With these I shall combine (though printing their names in italics) all other species that I know to occur in any part of Assam, Sylhet and Cachar, and I shall give the distribution so far as is yet known, of all these species in all these provinces, as also (for a considerable proportion of them belong rather to the Burmese than the Indian sub region) in the three Provinces of British Burmah. Lastly, I desire to analyse, though in a superficial fashion, the list of Manipur itself and compare it roughly with that of Sindh.
