368 A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF NEPAL. 



My list of the birds found in the plains of Nepal, the Tarai, 

 S^l Forest, Diin and Lower Hills is too imperfect to be worth 

 giving in detail. I will here only note the 38 species found 

 in those parts of Nepal, but not observed in the Great Valley 

 or the Nawakot district : — 



63. Circus melanoleucus. 



76. Carina brama. 

 Ii7ter. Palaeornis nipalensis. 



148. Palaeornis torquatus, 



163. Yungipicus pygmsBUS- 



171. Gecinus striolatus. 



192. Megaleema hodgsoni. 



265. Tepbrodornis pondicerianua. 

 267 A. Hemipus capitalis. 



281. Bucbanga coerulescens. 



282. Cbaptia senea. 



284. Dissemurus malabaroides. 



286. Cbibia bottentotta. 



402. Pomatorbinus schisticepa. 



430. Sibia picaoides. 



432. Malacocercus terricolor. 



443. Hemixus flavala. 



451. Criniger flaveolus. 



456. Bubigula flaviventria.

472. Oriolus melanocepbalus. 



474. Analcipus trailli. 



594. Budytes calcarata. 



615. Mesia argentauris. 



650. Melanocblora sultanea. 



674. Dendrocitta rufa. 



681. Sturnus vulgaris.

693. Eulabes intermedia. 



760. Pyrrbulauda grisea. 



762. Alaudula raytal. 



796. Turtur risorius. 



797. Turtur tranquebaricua. 

 803. Pavo cristatus. 



863. Grus antigone. 



865. Grus communis. 



1008, Plotus melanogaster. 



To complete the enumeration of the birds included in this 

 paper, the following six species, found in higher and more nor- 

 therly regions than the Nepal Valley, are added : — 



790. Columba leuoonota. 

 604, Lopbophorus impeyanua. 

 805. Ceriornis satyra. 



807. Ithagenes cruentus. 

 808ter. Pucrasia nipalensis. 

 809. Pbasianus wallicbi. 



To sum up : 243 species are recorded from the valley of 

 Nepal ; 13 species found in the Nawakot district, but not 

 obtained in the Nepal Valley ; 38 species from the plains and 

 Lower Region of Nepal, not included in the lists of birds from 

 the Great Valley or Nawakot ; and 6 species from the Upper 

 Region of Nepal, not found in any of the localities previously 

 mentioned ; making, in all, a total of 300 species. A complete 

 list of the birds to be found in the Territory of Nepal, includ- 

 ing residents and migrants, would probably not fall short of 

 700 species.
