THE BIRDS OF THE LUCKNOW CIVIL DIVISION. 



In the meantime it may be well to indicate what birds, not 

 already included in the list, are likely, in my opinion, to be 

 found, sooner or later, within the limits of the Division. 



Raptores. 



Though ''birds of prey" are well represented, (perhaps no 

 similar area of Indian territory can boast of more) the follow- 

 ing species will probably have to be added to the list before it 

 is complete : — 



(The Bay Vulture.) 



(The Pale Indian Vulture.) 



(The Thin-billed Indian 



Vulture.) 

 (The Barbary Falcon.) 

 (The Buff Eagle.) 

 (The Long-legged Eagle.) 

 (The Dwarf Eagle.) 

 (The Long-legged Buzzard.) 

 (The Greater Indian Kite.) 



3 bis. — Gyps fulvescens 



4 bis. — Gyps pallescens 

 4 ter. — Gyps tenuirostris 



] 2 bis. — Falco barbarus 



28 bis. — Aquila fulvescens 



30. — Aquila hastata 



31 . — Hieraetus pennatus 



45. — Buteo ferox 



56 bis. — Milvus melanotis 



Of these 3 bis, 28 bis, 30 and 31 are almost certain to be 

 found ; indeed their occurrence is more or less authenticated. 

 As regards the rest, 12 bis, like Falco babylonicus, may possibly 

 be met with occasionally ; but the occurrence of 4 bis, 4 ter, 

 45 and 56 bis, is less certain — improbable, I should think — in 

 the case of the first two. 



The little Scops Owls are possibly represented by more than 

 the two species included in the list — sunia and bakkamuna, 

 probably by pennatus if it is distinct from sunia ; while it is 

 equally possible that the genus Limnaetus (Crested Hawk 

 Eagles) is represented by one or more species, though I have 

 not been able to secure any. 



Insessores. 



To this order most of the following species will probably 

 have to be added : — 

 90. — Ptyonoprogne concolor 

 144. — Gaprimulgus monticolus 

 147 ter. — Palaornis nipalensis 

 476. — Cercotriclias macrura 

 488. — Saxicola opistholeucus 

 489. — Saxicola picatus 

 5 1 5. — A crocephalus stentorius 

 546. — Drymceca neglecta 

 553. — Hypolais rama 

 558. — Phylloscopus lugubris 

 561. — Phylloscopus affinis 

 &93.—Budytes cinerocapilla 



(The Dusky Crag Martin.) 

 (Franklin's Night Jar.)

 (The Shama.) 

 (White-tailed Stonechat.) 

 Pied Stonechat.)

 (Allied Wren Warbler.) 

 (Sykes' Warbler.) 

 (Dull-green Tree Warbler.)
