FIRST LIST OF THE BIRDS OF THE SOUTH KONKAN. 51 



141.— Hydrocissa coronata, Bodd. 



Aroli. 

 Fanasgaon. 



Devrukh. 

 Kasarde. 



Found inland in the belt of wooded country at the foot 

 of the Ghats. Does not extend, I believe, as far north as 

 D. cavatus, nor is it found near the Coast. 



[These may be considered typical examples of coronata, as they 

 are precisely similar to those from the Malabar Coast further 

 south. Comparing a large series of these western birds with an 

 equally large one from Raipur and Chota Nagpore on the east, 

 I find that these latter have the casques even more compressed, 

 and in birds of like age advancing further along the culmen to 

 the point. I can detect no other constant difference. — A. 0. H.] 



145.*— Tockus griseus, Lath. 



f Savant Vadi. [ 



In his " Popular List of the Birds of the Maratha country," 

 compiled for the Bombay Gazetteer, and published at the 

 Government Central Press in 1876, Mr. Fairbank mentions 

 having obtained this species at Savant Vadf.
