 Genus Olis. 



122. Otis Indica, Ind. Orn. ? White-chinned Bustard, Lath. ? 



This bird has usually been considered as the female of the Otis 

 aurita, and has been so figured and described ; but it is well 

 known to be a distinct bird. It is the common Leek of India, 

 called by the English Bastard Florican. I am not quite certain 

 that Dr. Latham's IVhite- chinned Bustard is the bird, but his 

 description is .so near, that I have not thought it proper to make 

 a new species.
