923.—Ardea cinerea, Lin. 
The Blue Heron is common all over the plains. 
(And in suitable localities throughout the entire region.—A, 
0: 
924.—Ardea purpurea, Lin. 
The Purple Heron, though not so common as the last, is 
met with in most of the marshes in the plains. 
The Purple Heron occurs in every tank where there are thick 
beds of rushes in which, like the Bittern, it always lies excepting 
when disturbed, when it flies into the open and settles generally 
upon some low tree until the covert is quiet again. 
[Not uncommon, throughout the entire region, where rushy 
tanks and streams occur; but not found as a rule elsewhere, 
hence Mr. Adam never obtained it about Sambhur.—A. O. H.] 
925.—Herodias alba, Linn. 
The Large Egret occurs in all of the rivers and marshes. 
[Occurs (commonly in Sindh, more sparingly elsewhere) 
throughout the entire region.—A. O. H.] 
[926.—Herodias intermedia, /. Hasselq. 
The Little White Heron is not uncommonin Northern Guze- 
rat. Has been once shot at the lake at Aboo, and is pretty 
common in every sub-division of the region.—A. O. H.] 
927.—Herodias garzetta, Lin. 
The Little Egret is very common in most parts of the 
plains associating in considerable flocks. It is particularly 
common in the neighbourhood of Deesa. 
[Obtained also at Aboo. Common everywhere throughout the 
entire region.—A. O. H.] 
[928.—Demiegretta gularis, Bose. Ardea asha, 
Sykes. 
Occurs in Northern Guzerat, near the Runn. I have a spe- 
cimen from Patri, killed in August; is common along the coasts 
of Sindh, Cutch and Kattiawar. Unknown inland in Sindh, 
and equally so in Jodhpoor.—A. O. H.] 
929.—Buphus coromandus, Bodd. 
The Cattle Egret is also common throughout the plains. 
930.—Ardeola Grayii, Sykes. 
The Pond Heron is very common everywhere, being found 
at the edge of every pool of water in the country. I did not 
observe it at Mount Aboo.
