Though in many cases the race found in Sind is not that 

 found over most of the rest of India^ yet there are very few 

 peculiar to Sind, such only, perhaps, txre Fi/ctorJiis altirodris 

 scindicns, Sturuus cuh/uri/i )ninoi\ Sterna albifrons saundersi ?, 

 others being the "dry nrea" form found over north-west 

 India generally. 



Measurements are given in mm. ; wings — greatest possible 

 length from carj)al joint ; tails from tip of urojjygial gland ; 

 bills from true base except where otherwise stated.
