CAPRIMULGID^E. 



40,— Caprimulgus indicus, Lath. (107.) 



I have two specimens of a Night-Jar from Sirguja andl^ohar- 

 dugga which seem to belong to this species. It does not appear 

 to be common, and was not obtained by Captain Beavan in 

 Manbhum. 



41 .—Caprimulgus albonotatus, Tickeli (109.) 



I have never obtained a specimen of the Large Bengal Night- 

 Jar, but I have both seen and heard what I believe to be it. It 

 is inserted in this list on the authority of Colonel Tickeli and 

 Captain Beavan, both of whom obtained it. The former stated 

 it to be extremely common in the jungles, but Captain Beavan 

 says it appears to be very locally distributed. 



42.— Caprimulgus asiaticus, Lath. (112.) 



The Common Indian Night-Jar is, according to Captain 

 Beavan, abundant in Manbhum. My only specimen I shot in 

 the Rajmehal hills, and I certainly have no reason for supposing 

 this species to occur generally throughout the Division. 



43.— Caprimugus monticolus, FranH. (114.) 



Franklin's Night-Jar is the only species which I have found 

 to be generally and abundantly distributed throughout the 

 Division. I have specimens from Sirguja, Singhbhum, and Lohar- 

 dugga. In Manbhum Captain Beavan considered that it 

 replaced asiaticus in certain places. 



I found this species to be common also in the Rajmehal hills 

 and Satpuras. 



The following are the measurements of my specimens in 

 inches i —

TROGONID^E. 



45.— Harpactes fasciatus, Gm. (115.) 



Colonel Tickeli obtained a solitary specimen of the Malabar 

 Trogon near Dampura in Dhalbhum. He says : — " It frequents 

 the thickest jungle at the bottom of ravines and dried rocky 

 nalahs, flying from tree to tree with a querulous note like the
