THE COMMON BIRDS OF THE 

 EASTERN HIMALAYAS 



The majority of the birds which are common 

 in the Eastern Himalayas are also abundant in 

 the western part of the range, and have in con- 

 sequence been described already. In order to 

 avoid repetition this chapter has been put into 

 the form of a list. The list that follows in- 

 cludes all the birds likely to be seen daily by 

 those who in summer visit Darjeeling and other 

 hill-stations east of Nepal. 



Of the birds which find place in the list 

 only those are described which have not been 

 mentioned in the essay on the common birds 

 of the Western Himalayas. 



Short accounts of all the birds that follow 

 which are not described in this chapter are to 

 be found in the previous one.
