Gypaetus barbatus, L. Kotegurh (winter) *. 



BuTEO FERox (S. G. Gmelin) ; B. canescens, Hodgs. Kote- 

 gurh (winter). 



The specimen sent belongs to the variety B. rufinus, and agrees 

 with the examples of the adult birds of that variety collected by 

 Herr Kotschy in Nubia (compare my 'Uebersicht der Geier 

 und Falkeu/ 147 D), only that the Himalayan bird has the 

 tail banded, and consequently must be considered somewhat 

 younger. 



Aquila pennata (Gm.). Rogi. 



A young bird, but able to fly, which was sitting in its nest, 

 but then left it. Underneath brown, with a large white shoulder- 

 spot. It is very like a young male shot at Guntramsdorf in 

 Lower Austria (Uebers. der Geier und Falken, 161 C), only 

 that it has the occiput and nape more rusty, and that the caudal 

 bands are scarcely apparent. The quills ai'e shorter, and have 

 evidently not reached their full dimensions. 



* Some of the species are noted " in winter only." These are migra- 

 toi-y birds, which only frequent Kotegurh and the southern slopes of the 

 North-western Himalaya (at heights from 4000 to 8000 feet) during the 

 winter, and which are not to be found there in summer.
