124 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF INDIA. 



of these islands. Of these, however, the following 13 must, I 

 consider, be expunged. Some are species avowedly introduced, 

 and which have since died out, while of others the occurrence 

 rests, when the matter is looked into, on no sufficient 

 evidence : — 



41. Polioaetus ichthyaetus, Horsf., (p. 149.) 



65 bis. Syrnium seloputo, Horsf., (p. 150.) 



75 quint. Ephialtes lempiji, Horsf., (p. 151.) 



112. Caprimulgus asiaticus, Lath., (p. 162.) 



148. Palseornis torquatus, Bodd., (p. 177.) 



214. Eudynamys honorata, Lin., (p. 192.) 



214 ter. Eudynamys mindanensis, Lin., (p. 194.) 



224. Arachnothera pusilla, Blyih, (p. 196.) 



284. Dissemurus paradiseus, Lin., (p. 211.) 



594 bis. Budytes citreola, Pall, (p. 239.) 



663. Corvus impudicus, Llodgs., (p. 245.) 



686. Acridotheres fuscus, Wagler, (p. 247.) 



704. Estrilda amandava, Lin., (p. 258.) 



Full explanations of my reasons for excluding these species will 



be found on the pages cited. 



Besides this, we have eight species which, if they occur at all at 

 these islands, do so apparently as excessively rare stragglers, 

 and are in no way, so far as our present investigations go, 

 entitled to a place in the regular Avifauna. 



56. Milvus govinda, Syhes, (p. 150.) 



279. Dicrurus balicassius, Lin., (p. 209.) 



369 bis, Turdus pallidus, GmeL, (p. 223.) 



372 bis. Oreocincla inframarginata, Blyth, (p. 223.) 



690. Pastor roseus, Lin., (p. 252.) 



795 bis. Turtur tigriuus, Temm., (p. 269.) 



894. Totanus canescens, GmeL, (p. 299.) 



1004. Pelecanus philippensis, GmeL, (p. 324.) 



Then two species, which undoubtedly occur at Port Blair, viz : — 



684. Acridotheres tristis, Lin., (p. 246.) 



803. Pavo cristatus, Lin., (p. 276.) 



have been introduced, and though they have multiplied and 

 thriven on the little island of Ross, they have not as yet extended, 

 as far as we know, one mile even from the spot where they were 

 originally turned loose.
