We confirm and extend the known distributions and habitats of both N. mandalayensis and N. kaouthia in Upper Myanmar. Clinical symptoms of local and systemic envenoming by N. mandalayensis are described for the first time. These included local swelling, blistering and necrosis and systemic neurotoxicity. More information is needed about the clinical phenotype and management of bites by N. mandalayensis, the commoner of the two cobras in Upper Myanmar.

  • Spatial Analysis of Rainfall Variation in Dry Zone of Myanmar
    Spatial Analysis of Rainfall Variation in Dry Zone of Myanmar Dr Khin Thein Oo* Abstract The Dry Zone in Central Myanmar covers large parts of the 27 townships of Mandalay Region, 19 townships of Magway Region and 16 townships of lower Sagaing Region. The Dry Zone comprises the middle Ayeyarwady basin, centering at the Ayeyarwady- Chindwin confluence. The boundary of the Dry Zone is defined as the 40 inch-isohyet. The study is based on data collected from 34 rain guage stations during the period of 30 years (1986-20156). This paper aims to present the spatial distribution of seasonal rainfall in Dry Zone of Myanmar. Spatial databases were developed using UTM maps (Universal Transverse Mercator), and Google Earth downloaded maps as well as GPS field survey data for capturing point stations. The collected data has been proceeded and analyzed by using interpolation method with GIS software. In analyzing the long term average and annual rainfall, the annual rainfall of the region is 30.58 inches, of which the pre- monsoon , monsoon and post monsoon record 5.76 inches,17.93 inches and 6.49 inches respectively. Singu Township receives the highest rainfall of 37.3inches whereas Yenanchaung Township records the lowest rainfall of 22.55 inches. SintgaingTownship receives the highest variation in annual rainfall of 41.47 % and Meiktila records the lowest rainfall of 20.42%. It will be useful for determination of cropping pattern in general and the type of crop to be cultivated moreover it will be suggested for other economic activities. Key words: Dry Zone, isohyet, seasonal rainfall, pre-monsoon, monsoon, post- monsoon 1.
