788.—Columba intermedia, Sérick. 
The Blue Rock Pigeon abounds all over the country, congre- 
gating often in countless flocks in wells, sacred edifices, old 
buildings, &e. 
[Obtained at Aboo also. Common throughout the entire 
region.—A. O. H.] 
792.—Turtur pulchrata, Hodgs. 
The Indian Turtle Dove, distinguished from T. meena, Sykes, 
by the white under tail-coverts,is not common. I met with 
one or two examples at Aboo, but have not observed it else- 
where. 
[Occurs nowhere else, so far as I yet know, throughout the 
entire region, except on its extreme eastern limits near Sam- 
bhur, where Mr. Adam obtained one or two stragglers during 
the course of several years.—A. O. H ] 
794.—Turtur cambayensis, (mel. . 
The Little Brown Dove is very common both on the hills 
and in the plains. 
[Very common throughout the entire region.—A. O. H.] 
795.—Turtur suratensis, Gmel. 
The Spotted Dove, though not quite so plentiful as the last, 
is common on the hills and in many parts of the plains. In 
the immediate neighbourhood of Deesa it is not common. 
[Occurs throughout the region, but except in the better wood- 
ed tracts, almost exclusively during the rainy season.— 
A. 0. H.] 
796.—Turtur risorius, Lin. 
The Common Ring Dove abounds all over the plains, but 
does not occur in any numbers on the hills, in fact I only 
met with one or two specimens at Mount Aboo. It is parti- 
cularly partial to clumps of babool trees, Zizyphus bushes 
and fuphorbia hedges, and breeds in great quantities at the 
end of the rains, commencing to lay about the second week 
in August. _ 
[ Very common throughout the entire region.—A. O. H.] 
797.—Turtur humilis, Zemm. 
The Ruddy Ring Dove is common in most parts of the 
plains and on the hills, but in some localities it is seldom or 
never met with. I took a nest containing one fresh egg on the 
8th July near Deesa, and saw several other nests later in the 
same month and in August and September.
