Of what I consider to be spurious species, i.e., species incor- 

 rectly recorded as having been found within this area, the 

 following- are the principal : — 



382. — Grammatoptila striata, Vig., of which a specimen in 

 the Indian Museum is said to have been brought from Birbhum, 

 and 152. — Palaornis fasciatus, Miill., and 153. — Loriculus ver- 

 nalis, Sparrm, of which specimens are said to have been obtained 

 in the Eajmehal Hills, vide " Birds of India." 



The following species occur on the northern limit of the 

 area, in the Valley of the Ganges, and clearly do not belong 

 to our Fauna, viz : — 



396. — Timalia bengalensis, G. Aust. f 

 484. — Pratincola leucura, Blyth., 

 823. — Ortygornis gularis, Tern., 



and several Reed Warblers which are found in the long grass 

 in the vicinity of the Ganges. 



Possibly to this list should be added — 



50. — Glaucidium cuculoides, Vig., 

 365. — Planesticus atrogularis, Tern., 

 943. — Falcinellus igneus, Gm. f 

 as they appear only to occur within the area as stragglers. 



On the eastern boundaries there are of course a great num- 

 ber of sea birds which are not included in the Fauna. In 

 Orissa the following species were observed close to the boundary 

 in the tidal rivers : — 



846. — iEgialitis geoffroyi, Wagl. 



876. — Terekia cinerea, Gm. 



983. — Sterna anglica, Mont.
