MY LAST NOTES ON THE AVIFAUNA OF SIND. 179 



morning when we laid out three species that we had 

 shot before them, in the verandah of the bungalow we were 

 stopping in, viz., P. carbo, P. fuscicollis and P. melanognathus, 

 they at once said that we had not got the bird whose eggs they 

 had brought us the day previous, namely, the small Big Cormor- 

 ant with the white cheek patch. It is possible, however, that 

 the larger of these two birds may be the male, and the 

 smaller the female, and that there is only the one intermediate 

 species after all as I see that the only specimens I have measur- 

 ed were all three females. 



I have reason to believe that Syrnium ocellahim, Less., occurs 

 in the E. Narra and the country east of Hyderabad, but have 

 not yet seen a specimen, so have not included it in the above 

 list. 



2nd Section. 

 Additional notes in regard to species already noticed. 



2. — Otogyps calvus, Scop. 



Not uncommon at Hyderabad and in the E. Narra, where 

 it breeds. It occurs also in the neighbourhood of Karachi. 



5. — Gyps bengalensis, Gm. 



Decidedly common in the E. Narra and about Hyder- 

 abad, and breeds in the former district. It is also not un- 

 common in the neighbourhood of Karachi. 



12. — -Falco babylonicus, Gurney. 



The Red-cap Falcon is not perhaps very uncommon in the 

 cold weather iu Lower Sind, and probably occurs as well in 

 Upper Sind also. I shot one (identified for me by the Editor) 

 near Hyderabad last cold weather, and heard of numerous other 

 instances of its occurrence. I append measurements of the 

 specimen which I preserved : — 



Sex. L. W. T. B. at f. including cere. B. fr. g. Exp. 

 Hjderadad ? 16 75 12 87 7 1*18 1*25 40 



This bird, a female, which was in immature plumage, had the 

 legs, feet, cere and orbital skin, pale lemon yellow. The bill was 

 bluish plumbeous, yellowish at the base and tipped blackish 

 plumbeous. 



15. — Falco sesalon, Tunst. 



I noticed one or two pairs about Karachi last cold weather. 

 The Lyarree Gardens seemed to be their head-quarters.
