170 Mr. Howard Saunders on 



quently during the ascent of Mount Tongloo, at elevations 

 above 8000 feet. They were very wary, and, on being ap- 

 proached, took wing and were soon lost amongst the trees. 



811 . Gallophasis melanonotus. Sikkim Kaleege Pheasant.' 

 Common about Darjeeling. I have seen it in the forests 



running about and feeding on the ground. On the 26th April, 



a hen bird and four eggs were brought to me by my shikaree. 



The eggs were whitish, resembling those of the common Fowl 



very much in size and appearance*. 



813. Gallus ferrugineus. Red Jungle-Fowl. 

 Two or three specimens were brought to me from the forests 

 below Leebong. 



824. Arboricola torqueola. Black-throated Hill Par- 

 tridge. 



I obtained some specimens of this handsome bird during the 

 ascent of Mount Tongloo ; and the shikaree also procured them 

 on Mount Tendong. 



987. Sterna javanica. Black-belHed Tern. 

 Two specimens from the Great Ruugeet river. 



1006. Graculus FUscicoLList. Lesser Cormorant. 

 My shikaree killed one example near the Great Ruugeet 

 river. 



XIV. — Ornithological Rambles in Spain. 

 By Howard Saunders, F.Z.S. 



Having been compelled to pass the winter of 1867-68 in a 

 warm climate, I was enabled to carry out a long-cherished 

 desire of revisiting Spain ; and, my stay there having been pro-

 especially as I propose to limit them to the birds observed in 

 Andalucia, or, to be still more correct, to the district south of 

 the Sierra Morena. Lord Lilford's remarks on the ornithology 



* [The egg tigured as that of this species (P. Z. S. 1858, Ares, pi. 149, 

 fig. 2) does not, however, agree with the description given above. — Ed.]
