338 ADDITIONAL NOTE ON THE BIRDS OF THE 



The ten additions to the first list are as follows : — 



33.— Pseudaetus Bonellii, Temm. 



I obtained one specimen of Bonelli's Hawk-eagle at Sam- 

 bhur. 



301.— Stoparola melanops, Vigors. 



A male of this species was obtained in November 1873. 



835.— Turnix Dussumieri, Temm. 



A number of specimens of this species, described by Jerdon 

 under the name of T. Sykesi, were obtained about the set- 

 ting in of the rains. 



860— Strepsilas interpret, L. 



During September three specimens of this rare species were 

 obtained at the lake. Jerdon says that it frequents the sea-coast, 

 and gives an instance of its having been procured 200 miles 

 inland. Sambur is situated, in a straight line, over 400 miles 

 from the sea-coast at the Gulf of Kutch, but doubtless the birds 

 only occurred at the lake as migrants en route from Yarkand 

 and Central Asia, where Mr. Hume records them as probably 

 breeding to the sea coast. 



846.— Cirrepidesmus Geoffroyi, Wagl. 



Several specimens were shot about the middle of August. 

 They all showed some signs of summer plumage. Other speci- 

 mens shot in the first week of September showed less signs. . 



844.— Squatarola helvetica, L. 



A specimen of this bird in full breeding plumage was shot 

 on the 25 th of September. 



890.— Lobipes hyperboreus, L. 



Specimens of this rare bird were obtained on the 22nd and 

 25th of September. Mr. Hume had only previously obtained 

 one specimen shot in the Kurrachee Harbour, and he is of opi- 

 nion that it can only occur at Sambhur as a bird of passage. 



895— Totanus stagnalis, Bechst. 



Shot during the latter half of September. The specimens 

 showed more or less signs of summer plumage. 



962.— Dafila acuta, L. 



I shot a Pin-tail Duck on the 18th January 1874.
