Indian Birds 



As a further aid to identification I have, in 

 all cases in which a species has been figured in 

 any book which is easily procurable, stated 

 where the picture of the bird is to be found. 

 Most stations in India boast of a library of 

 sorts, which is likely to contain some, at any 

 rate, of the books referred to. In order to 

 save space I have used abbreviations for the 

 titles. Thus (Illus. F. I, p. 298) means that a 

 picture of the bird in question will be found 

 on page 298 of Volume I of the bird volume 

 of The Fauna of British India.
