12 NOTES ON THE AVIFAUNA OF MOUNT ABOO 
[This species does occur in each sub-division of the entire 
region, but except in Kattiawar, whence numerous specimens 
have been received, and where Captain Hayes Lloyd says that it 
is not uncommon, is everywhere apparently so rare that it can 
only be looked on as a straggler or through migrant. At the 
Sambhur Lake Mr. Adam has never once met with it. From 
Jodhpoor I have seen only one specimen from Palee ; one from 
near Erinpoorah; two from Cutch. From Sindh, though we 
know that it occurs there, I have never yet seen a specimen.—

[846.—Cirrepidesmus Geoffroyi, Wagler. 
I procured this in Northern Guzerat on the borders of the 
Runn. It is very common during the cold season along the 
coasts of Sindh, Cutch and Kattiawar. But neither in Sindh 
nor in Jodhpoor do I know of its occurring inland, except at 
the time of its migration from the 15th August to 15th 
September or during April-May, when, as in the case of Squa- 
tarola helvetica, (which leaves earlier and returns later) it is 
often met with at large pieces of water inland.—A. O. H.] 
[847.—Cirrepidesmus mongolicus, Pall. 
The same remarks precisely as in the case of the preceding.— 
A. O. H.] 
[848.—Asgialophilus cantianus, Lath, 
Procured and observed in many places in Northern Guzerat, 
common alike on the shores and inland on banks of rivers, lakes 
and tanks throughout the entire region.—A. O. H.] 
849.— Aigialitis curonicus, Gel. 
The Common Small Ringed Plover is common in the plains 
in the rains and during the cold weather, and I am inclined to 
think that this was one of the species of Agzalitis I saw at Aboo 
which I have previously alluded to. It frequents the edges of 
tanks and river beds, and runs along the sand ata great pace. 
It occurs singly some times and at other times in small parties, 
varying in number from three or four to twenty and upwards. 
[Common throughout the entire region, during the cold 
season; more common inland I think than on the shore.— 
A. 0: HL] 
852.—Chettusia gregaria, Pallas. 
The Black-sided Lapwing is very common during the cold 
weather in the neighbourhood of Deesa (further south it is not so 
plentiful,) congregating in flocks, varying in numbers from four 
or five to fifty or sixty. Like the last two species it frequents open
