174 Col. R. Meinertzliagen on the [Ibis, 



others were seen in November, but never at any other time. 

 It would appear, then, that though this race breeds in the 

 northern })art of the Punjab and in the North-West 

 Provinces as far south as Kohat (Ibis, 1911>, p. 370) it is 

 only a winter visitor to northern Balucdiistau. 



F. p. bal'i/loiiicus Scl. 

 An adult female was shot at Ziarat on 23. vii., and others 

 were seen there in June, though no eyrie was found. IMy 

 female had a wing of 315 mm. I never saw this race away 

 from the hills, where it was never common, but appeared to 

 be resilient at Ziarat. 



Falco cherrug. 



F. c. uiilvipes Jerd. 

 I obtained an immature male of this species at Khushdil 

 on 17. v., and in the (^)uetta Museum there are local specimens 

 obtained in January and on 18. x. St. John obtained a 

 specimen at Qiietta (F. B, I. iii. p. 4:22). 



Falco jugger Gray. 



Marshall records this species as fairly common in the cold 

 weather, and says that a pair were building a nest high up on 

 the face of a cliff, but gives no further details. There are 

 no specimens in the Quetta Museum, and I certainly did not 

 find the bird at all durino- the two winters I was in northern 

 Baluchistan. 



Falco subbuteo. 

 F. s. subbuteo L. 



I saw a pair of Hobbies at Ziarat on 24. vii., and there is 

 a male in the Qaetta Museum shot locally on 1.x., which 

 belongs to the typical form. 



Falco tinnunculus L. 



A common resident of which I failed to get specimens. 

 Also a plentiful bird of passage and winter visitor. The 

 resident birds breed up to 10,000 feet and also in earth-cliffs 

 at 5000 feet. Marshall took four fresh eggs on 14. v., and 

 I found a nest with two eggs on 21. v,
