I AM indebted to the editor of 

 "The Pioneer for permission to 

 republish the sketches that form 

 this calendar, and to Mr. A. J. 

 Currie for placing at my disposal 

 his unpublished notes on the 

 birds of the Punjab. 



Full descriptions of all the 

 Indian birds of which the doings 

 are chronicled in this calendar 

 are to be found in the four 

 volumes of the Fauna of British 

 India devoted to birds ; popular 

 descriptions of the majority are 

 given in my Indian Birds.
