BIRDS OF SE1STAN. 699 



101. Tiie Goi.den-Eye. (1610) Clangula glaticion. 

 A rare bird in Seistan, only two specimens having been shot by members of 

 this Mission. This was during January 1905, when the cold was unusually 



severe. 



102. The "White-headed or Stiff-tailed Duck. 

 (1611) Erismatura leucocephala. 

 Very common on the Hamuns during the winter, when several specimens 

 were shot by members of the Mission. Perhaps breeds in Seistan. 



108. The Great-crested Grebe. (1615) Podicipes cridatus. 

 Fairly common during the winter on the Seistan Hamuns. On 4th February 

 1904 I saw several specimens, near Puzak, in the deep open patches of water. 

 It is a good diver and very vary. Its upright bifid crest shows very con- 

 spicuously even at a distance. 

 104. The Indian Little Greee, or Babchick. (1617) Podieipes alb'qiennis. 

 A young bird was brought to me at Kuhak on the 7th July 1904, so that 

 this species is not only obtainable in Seistan but breeds here.
