Milvus migrans govinda Sykes. (i skins.) 



An abundant and generally distributed resident. Breeds 

 about February. 



[Milvus lineatus (Gray). 



A very large Kite with conspicuous wing-patches was seen 

 by me atLudha Mani on 19 September, 1919. The specimen 

 was not obtained, but I have little hesitation in referring it to 

 this species.] 



Haliastur Indus (Bodd.). (1 skin.) 



Only observed on the autumn migration o£ 1918, when 



three or four, both adult and immature, were observed about 



the Jaura Canal works from 8-10 August, and an adult was 



seen at Chund bridge on 31 Auoust. 



Haliaetus leucoryphus (Pall.). 



Pairs of Pallas's Fishing Eagle are to be met with through- 

 out the whole extent of the riverain area, and occasionally 

 they visit tho canals and escapes. It would appear to be a 

 resident species, wholly or in part^ although higher up the 

 Jhelum River near the Himalayan foot-hills it was only a 

 breeding visitor in winter {ef. Ibis, 1916, p. 91). A nest 

 with throe Qgg^^ taken near Chund bridge on 12 December, 

 1919, has been described in ' Bird Note?,' 1920, p. 22. 



Elanus cseruleus (Desf.). 



Black-winged Kites were seen as follows : — 



1918. 18 March : one at Dab Kalan ; 13 October : 

 one near Chund bridae. 



1918. 27 July : one at Nurpur Escape. 



Butastur teesa Frankl. (\ skin.) 



A not uncommon resident, but probably also a summer 

 immigrant. Nests were found in May. 



Neophron percnopterus percnopterus (L.). 

 A common and resident species. There has been a certain 

 amount of confusion regarding the distribution of the races
