a march from Simla to Mussoorie. 195 



6. Aquila bifasciata, J. E. Gray [27] . I saw one at Pha- 

 goo, and another at Synge. 



7. Aquila malaiensis (Reinw.) [32]. I saw two at Phagoo. 



8. Falco tinnunculus, Linn. [17]. Rather common at 

 all heights. 



9. MiLvus govinda, Sykes [56]. I saw two or three near 

 villages, at all heights. 



10. AsTUR palumbarius (L.) [21]. A pair kept flying about 

 Kandoe. 



11. AcciPiTER viRGATUs (Temm.) [25]. I saw one in the 

 valley of the Shalla river. 



12. Carine brodiei (Burton) [80]. I shotoneat Mahassoo, 

 and heard their note constantly at lieights of from 4000 to 6000 

 feet. 



13. Carine cucuLoiDEs (Vig.) [79]. I heard them fre- 

 quently in well-wooded forests, at all heights. 



14. Bubo (?) . A magnificent horned Owl sat on a tree 



at Tikri. I could not get a shot at the bird, and was therefore 

 unable to determine the species. It was 2 a.m. when 1 saw him, 

 and heard his loud clear note of " Goo-goo, chemp." 



15. Ephialtes PENNATUS (Hodgs.) [74], Rather rare. 1 

 identified only one, near the Dharagad river. 



16. Caprimulgus monticolus, Frankl. [114]. Not un- 

 common, at all heights. 



17. Cypselus apfinis, J. E. Gray [100]. Occasionally seen 

 in flocks, near villages. 



18. Cypselus leuconyx, Blyth [101] . I saw several flying 

 over the extensive flat grassy ground on the mountain-tops on 

 the march from Dia to Putturnulla, in company with several of 

 Chcetura caudacuta, but I did not succeed in shooting any. This 

 Swift is readily distinguished from Cypselus affinis by its more 

 elegant appearance and graceful flight. 



19. Cypselus melba (L.) [98]. I saw very few, at eleva- 

 tions of from 5000 to 7000 feet.
