obtained in Sikkim. 155 



34. LiMNAETUs NivEUs. Changeable Hawk-Eagle. 

 One specimen only. I did not see it in life, that I am 

 aware of. 



73. Ketupu flavipes. Tawny Fish-Owl. 

 I obtained two specimens, and saw a third near the Bulwabos, 

 a small stream tributary to the Little Rungeet river. 



80. Glaucidium brodiei. Collared Pigmy Owlet. 



I had two or three specimens brought to me, and I have seen 

 the bird myself in the forests near the station. A hollow, 

 ringing sound, said by the natives to be its call, is very com- 

 mon in the woods. 



109. Caprimulgus albonotatus. Large Bengal Night-jar. 



At Punkabarree (1815 feet above the sea), on the 23rd 

 March, while a friend and I were were sitting outside the ddk- 

 bungalow, just as it was getting dark, we heard a curious sound 

 in the forest, which bore such a close resemblance to the noise 

 that would be caused by a man at some distance striking a 

 plank at quick and regular intervals with a small hammer, that 

 my companion would scarcely believe it came from a bird. 

 Presently, however, a similar sound arose from another part of 

 the forest, and then a large Goatsucker, in a tree not ten yards 

 distant, began emitting the same strange cry. He soon flew 

 off into the air, apparently in pursuit of some insect, uttering 

 a slight noise, like " tuk-a-tuk," as be left his perch. 



116. Habpactes hodgsoni. Red-headed Trogon. 



I had several specimens brought to me ; but I never saw the 

 bird, and my shikar-ee declared it was very rare. He informed 

 me that those he killed were from the valley of the Great Run- 

 geet river, some two or three thousand feet below Darjeeling. 



124. CoRACiAS affinis. Burmese Roller. 



A pair of these birds was brought to me from the neighbour- 

 hood of the Great Rungeet river ; and the shikaree informed me 

 that they were very uncommon. 



. 126. EuRYSTOMUs orientalis. Broad-billed Roller. 

 Two specimens from the same locality as the last. 



131. Halcyon coromandelianus. Ruddy Kingfisher.
