Closely allied to P. fuscus, but distinguished by having 

 the plumage altogether darker, the black markings, especially 

 on the underparts of the body, being much coarser. The 

 mantle and upper back are devoid of the broad chestnut 

 shaft-streaks characteristic of P. fuscus ; on the sides of the 

 breast, belly, and flanks the wide chestnut middles to the 

 feathers are much reduced, and the sides of the feathers are 

 strongly barred with black and white. Iris brown; bill and 

 legs dull red. Total length about 10 inches, wing 4'7, 

 tail 3'6, tarsus 1*15.

This is a statistical account of the three above-mentioned 

 Rajputana States of Western India, embellished by numerous 

 illustrations and apparently well put together. The list of 

 birds, which is compiled from the writings of Butler, Hume, 

 and Marshall, contains little, if anything, original, except a 

 few introductory remarks. The well-known health-resort of 

 Mount Abu, which comes within the limits of the work, 

 attracts many species which would otherwise leave the 

 country during the breeding-season. Here the Indian 

 Cuckoo calls from May to August, and bird-life is abundant.
