Birds of Kattiuwar, Western India. 411 



459. Otocompsa leucotis. 



1 only once met with this bird, in a grove at Mahdoopoon, 

 on the west coast ; and my specimens were subsequently de- 

 stroyed ; but I believe it is common in the Oakhammandel dis- 

 tricts in the extreme west, and also in the neighbourhood of 

 the Burda hills. 



462. Pycnonotus pusillus. 

 P. hcemorrhous, Jerdon. 

 Very common. 



467. lORA ZEYLONICA. 



Common in the neighbourhood of the Geernar and Geer. 



472. Oriolus melanocephalus. 



I once saw in the Geer a Black-headed Oriole, which I 

 think was more likely to have been this species than O. cey- 

 lonensis. 



4>75. COPSYCHUS SAULARIS. 



Only met with in the neighbourhood of the Geernar and 

 Geer, where it is not uncommon. 



480. Thamnobia cambaiensis. 



Common. Many specimens are intermediate in colouring 

 between T. cambaiensis and T. fulicata. 



481. Pratincola caprata. 

 Common. Wing 26 to 2'8. 



483. Pratincola indica. 



Very common. In most of my specimens the tail-fea- 

 thers show some white at the base, not visible until the upper 

 tail-coverts' are pulled aside. Length about 5' 15; wings 

 average 27.
