that further search will lead to the discovery of many others. Our know- 
ledge of that part of India is comparatively very incomplete. 
Besides the birds noted in the list, there are many that are known 
to lay early in February, and which may possibly sometimes lay in the 
end of January; at all events they will be building in the present 
month, and careful watch should be kept over their movements. 
Among these may be noted in the Huatayas the black-capped 
falcon and the imperial eagle. 
In the Punsas, the day vulture and the imperial eagle, these are 
both rare birds, and few collections contain specimens of their eggs 
taken in India. 
In the Norru-Wesr Provinces, the spotted owlet begins to lay 
towards the end of the month, as also the Little ringed plover, for which 
watch should be kept on the sands in the beds of big rivers, more espe- 
cially on the flat sandy islands left by the receding floods. 
In Cenrrat Inpia, the day vulture is building, and the grey partridge 
commences to pair. 
In Sournern Inp1a, the kestril commences building in the Nilgiris, 
also the red spur fowl, while in Travancore the booted eagle, the grey 
Jronted green pigeon, and the grey jungle fowl are pairing and preparing 
their nests.
