242 A SECOND LIST OF THE BIRDS 



included, so that the time seems to have come for publishing a 

 second list, which is subjoined. 



In this list the names of species included in the first list are 

 printed in the ordinary Roman type, while those of species 

 not so included, are in Antique. 



Mr. Inglis's notes in regard to the several species treated of 

 are reproduced under his own initials. 



List. 



8.— Falco peregrinus, Gm. 



" This Falcon does not appear to be a resident here. I have 

 often observed it about November hawking in the evening 

 about dusk, and the specimens I have procured were birds 

 perched on a tree apparently resting during a journey. — J. I." 



Two specimens ; a very fine, very large adult female, with a 

 wing 14'5, and with a faint buffy pinky tinge on the breast 

 and abdomen, and a young male of the second year, both shot 

 near Dilkhushah. 



11.— Falco juggur, J. K Gr. 



" This species is somewhat rare here. — J. I." 

 One specimen, a male, not quite adult, 26th March 1878, 

 Enayetgunge. 



16.— Falco chiquera, Baud. 



" Is quite common in Sylhet, although rather rare here. 

 I saw two nestlings in Cachar this season. — J. I." 

 A male killed on the Khooshyara river. 



18 bis. — Cerchneis pekinensis, Swinh. 



" I have only succeeded in securing two more specimens of 

 this species, since I obtained the bird referred to S. F., V., 5. 

 First an adult male, which I shot in December, picking him 

 out from amongst about one hundred of the Eastern Red- 

 Legged Hobby which were hawking white ants. Second a 

 young male, which I killed on the 26th of March, out of a party 

 of five which were hovering over my bungalow. Of this latter, 

 I noted the following particulars at the time : — 



" Length, 12*6 ; wing, 92 ; expanse, 27*75 ; tail, 6*5 ; tarsus, 

 1*4 ; bill from gape, *7.

 white, slightly tinged with cinnamon; back chestnut, also 

 mantle ; wing quite black, edged with whitish ; wing-coverts ashy,
