1905. Pterocles arenarius, Cumming, op. cit., p. 691. 
oO. No. 25488 ; in desert S. of Lutak, 21.12.18. 
This specimen is not sexed but is a female adult. 
39. Francolinus francolinus henricii, Bonap. (1372). 
1905. Francolinus vulgaris, Cumming, op. cit., p. 692. 
Q. Juv. No. 24847; Kuhak, Augt. 04. 
Hartert in 1917 reviewed the races of Francolinus francolinus in 
Novitates Zoologicae and there points out that the small pale bird 
from Sind to Afghanistan must bear Bonapartes’ name henricit. 
The present specimen is very typical, a small, decidedly pale bird. 
4o. Coturnix coturnix (Linn.). (1355). 
1905. Coturnix communis, Cumming, op. czt., p. 692. 
@. No. 24848; Kuhak, 22.9.04. 
At. Zaponia parva parva, Bechst. (1392). 
1905. Porsana parva, Cumming, of. cit., p. 6093. 
2. No. 24859; Kuhak, 6.9.04. 
The wings are very imperfect, one moulting, and from the 
other several quills missing. They measure approximately 81 mm. 
In spite of its comparatively small size I have no doubt that it can 
be correctly assigned to this race. The colour generally is decidedly 
light and the bill is longer than in any specimen of pusilla in the 
British Museum Collection. 
42. Porzana porzana (Lin.). (1394). 
No. 24696; ? no date or sex. 
43. Gallinula chloropus parvifrons (Blyth). (1402). 
No. 24727; Band-i-Seistan, no date or sex. 
This specimen is somewhat intermediate between typical 
chloropus of Kurope and parvifrons of India, but is on the whole 
nearer the latter and should come under that name. 
44. Fulica atra atra, Linn. (1405).

These two specimens, both fully adult, were obtained at Lab- 
i-Baring, Seistan, E. Persia, at an elevation of some 1600 feet. 
I cannot separate these in any way from typical aira.
