408 Capt. J. Hayes Lloyd on the 



214. EUDYNAMYS HONORATA. 



E. orientalis, Jerdon. 

 Very common. 



217. Centropus rufipennis. 



Common. A pair built a great untidy-looking nest in a 

 lime-bush in the Durbar Garden at Gondul, and brought up 

 five young. 



222. Taccocua affinis ? 



A bird of this genus was common about twenty miles east 

 of Rajkote; but unluckily the tract they inhabited was also a 

 favourite haunt of panthers, and every time I saw the bird I 

 was, rifle in hand, searching for the nobler game. On each 

 occasion I made up my mind that I would visit the place for 

 the express purpose of shooting a Taccocua ; but somehow, 

 as soon as I got there, some evil spirit entered into me and 

 compelled me to exchange the gun for the rifle, and I finally 

 quitted the province Taccocua-less. 



234. Arachnechthra asiatica. 

 Very common. 



255. Upupa nigripennis. 

 Common. 



256. Lanius lahtora. 

 Very common. 



257. Lanius erytiironotus. 

 Rare. 



260. Lanius vittatus. 

 Very common. 



262. Lanius arenarius. 



Not uncommon. 



Of these Shrikes L. lahtora is a permanent resident ; the 

 others disappear during the hot weather and rains, to breed 

 elsewhere. 



265. Tephrodornis pondiceriana. 

 Common.
