*(1186) Gl'itjcldumbrodiei— {The Collarf.D PiGMY OWLET.) 

 Only one specimen obtained at about 5,0UU feet in February. Probably 

 many other owls are present. 



Family— VDLTURIDiE. 



(1198) Neoi^hron percnopierun — The Egyptian VuLTDKE oe Lakge White 



SCAVENGEH VULTUKK. 



No skill, I lather fancy both species were present round Diosh in summer. 



Family— FALCON I D.5i:. 



Chitral abounds in " hawkH" as one would expect, and lam sure the list 

 could be doubled. It seems a t-hame to shoot seme gpecies. I still legret 

 having shot a n.a{.nificcnt Fishing Eagle at the insiaiice < f a ( hiliali who 

 feared for lis hawks. Some on tl e oi her hand are so numeions that they 

 become a nuisance and have to be treated as veruiin. 



(11119) Gijpn'.tui barbutuH (The Bkakdkd Vultdre OR Lammergeyeb.)' 



No skin Common ;hiOughout the year, down to 4,> UU feet in winter. 



(1208) flieicetun pefinittuH—iTHE BoOTKO EaGLE.) 



This bold bird is common from 4,(t()0 feet up, Chitralis dislike him im- 

 mensely, as his presence in the neighbourhood lendeis hawking an impos^sibility. 

 I have never seen one domesticated ( I hope falconets will excuse my igno- 

 rance of correct terms). In spite of its laihcr clumsy build, it can put the 

 fear of death into a laden shahin, which is i self a marvellous Oyer. 



^ (12'2;5) llnUittna Ip.iicori plius— (PAhLAi-'?. Fli=HING-EAGLK..) 



One specimen obtained cut oi a pair near Chitial Foit < n lUth May. 



* (l22;i) MihuM f/omi.//t/—(^THK Common Pakiah Kite.) 



No skin. I am undei' the impression that this and Al. meiauotis were present 

 round Drosh in the summer but cannot be sure. 



(128t0 M'lmx meJaniiii> — (Thi: Larger Indian Kite.) 



Nobkin Fulton lecoids one specimen obtained at 6,000 feet on IGih April. 



(1232). Elatmy cnraUu.t.~ (The Bi.ACK-wiNGi d Kite) 



Not observed by me. though doubtless I saw it, as Fultcn tays it is 

 common in summer in the lowtr wooded valleys. 



(12;-^3j. ( irons 7uiicrnrm—(Tui': Pale Harrier.) 



Not observed by me, but there were many harriers in the main valley in 

 ApiU and May. Fulton records one ficm Diosh in April. 



* (123 ) Ciuux ri/unifis— The Hen Harrier.) 



Two specimens obtained in Apiil and May below Diosh. 



* (12;i7) CVrcux o!rM(/8«o«MN— (The Marsh Harrier.) 

 Two specimens obtained in Apiil and May bblow Drosh. 

 « (124;.) A si -r pnluinh iriu.^— {jy HE Goshawk.) 



Not seen by me. They are caught in the higher ranges.

Saw several of \\ bat weie probably this bira in April and May. I saw a 

 good many fresh -caught ones obtained at no great height. Fulton got it.
