Noted as follows : — June 11, six near Sohawa; June 15, 

 one by the river ; June 34, three on the river ; July 18, 

 one on the river. Evidently a passage migrant only. 



Sarcogrammus indicus. The Red-wattled Lapwing. 



A resident in small numbers, and greatly reinforced during 

 the summer months by immigrants, which begin to arrive 

 in February and reach their full numbers by the middle of 

 March. They would seem to leave again about the middle 

 of September, but a few of the departing birds linger on into 

 October. The species is comparatively scarce during the 

 winter. It makes an interesting quarry for trained Falcons 

 unless there is too much cover, when it is apt to put in and 

 may be taken up in the hand.

Several flocks were noted about in March and the last few
