well what species do habitually occur there, and though a few 
of the following may eventually be found to visit Aboo as 
stragelers, the great majority are, I think, certainly absent, 
though found alinost throughout the region we have been con- 
sidering.

I do not include the Grallatores and Natatores, because the 
Jake at Aboo is very small, and there is too little water about 
the rest of the ill to attract these, but most of the species 
included in the above list ought, one would suppose, to occur on 
a comparatively low table mountain like Aboo, and that they 
do not (and I think this is a fact) is very noteworthy. 
It is to be hoped that this avowedly imperfect sketch of the 
leading features of the Aboo Ornis will lead to its being still 
more thoroughly investigated by those on the spot. 
Turning now to Northern Guzerat there is but little in its 
Avifauna to separate it from the rest of the generally arid 
region comprised within our limits. A few species already 
alluded to, such as Cypselus melba, Pericrocotus brevirostris, &e., 
and I may add perhaps Graucalus Macet, appear to occur in it 
in connection with, and originally attracted thither by Aboo. 
Further south in the better watered and wooded regions several 
species like Meniceros bicornis, Locustella Hendersoni, Metopodius 
indicus, &c., occur, which are of course unknown in the desert 
region. 
It is the only locality in which as yet the western Lanius 
collurio has occurred, the only one, assuming Capt. Butler to be 
correct, in which the true Gyps fulvus of Europe has been 
obtained. In it also occur, other purely western forms, such as 
Butaiis grisola, Sylvia cinerea, Udon familiaris, Anthus spino- 
letta, Pterocles senegalus, and Querquedula angustirostris, and a 
few species, such as Ploceus manyar, and Estrelda amandava, 
which tho’ reappearing in Sindh, are met with nowhere else, 
within the regions we are discussing but as a whole there is
