1919. 22 March. C/3 hard-set e^rgs, taken at Mochiwala 

 from a nest on a side bough of a Kikur-tree in culti- 

 vation near a canal — the same tree from Avhich I 

 took C/'4 Raven's eggs on 4 February, 1918. Eggs 

 48 X 40-5, 47-5 x 39-5, 46 x 39-5 mm.

large, untidy structure about 20-25 feet from the 

 ground on a main bough of a Jhand-tree. The tree 

 was about 50 yards from the railway at Chund and 

 about 100 yards from a rest-house. 



1920. 4 March. C/3 incubated eggs^ taken from a large and 



ancient-looking nest, probably originally that of a 

 Neophron, in a large Kikur-tree standing in cultiva-

 50-5 X 39-5, 49x39 mm.
