THE KOEL AND ITS ALLIES 



2^1 





gannahs in Bengal, I find the 

 two species resident. At 

 Agarpara, a village seven 

 miles to the north of Cal- 



cutta, and 



in the vil- 



lao^es about it, 



I have noticed 



both the said species all 



through the year. 



The Koel (B, honorata) 



is the most common and 



widely known cuckoo in 



India, and it is also the most vociferous. 

 There is perhaps not a garden, 

 grove, avenue or jungle in India 

 where this bird is not found.
