A CONTIITBUTION TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF NEPAL. 367 



podius. Of these, Gallus, Coracias and Palaornis, unknown 

 to the Greater Valley, proclaim the qiiasi-ludian climate of 

 Nawakot ; as Carbo and MerguSy also unknown there, do its 

 larg-er rivers. 



For the rest, the species, as well as the genera, are those 

 common to both districts. The Wall-creeper of Europe, sup- 

 posed to be confined thereto, is frequent in both/' 



This passage contains, I believe, the only notice hitherto pub- 

 lished of the Mammals and Birds of the Nawakot district. 

 Mr. Hodgson's visit to the district must have been made in 

 winter ; the only time I saw that part of Nepal was towards 

 the end of November. With reference to Mr. Hodgson's enu- 

 meration and remarks, I would note that Coracias and Falaornis 

 are not unknown to the valley of Nepal ; and that Ceryle^ 

 Taccocua and Grocopus must be added to the genera found in 

 Nawakot, but absent from the Grreat Valley. A complete list of 

 the birds of the Nawakot district would doubtless show a large 

 number of species never found in the Nepal Valley. 



The following is a list of the 94 species as yet known to 

 occur in the Nawakot district : —
