VICINITY OF KHANDALA, &c. 267 
840.— Cursorius coromandelicus. 
856.—Sarciophorus matlabaricus. 
I have been interested in comparing this list with Captain 
Butler’s list of the avi-fauna of Mount Aboo and Northern 
Guzerat. (“Srray Featuers,”’ Volume III, pp. 437—50, and 
Volume IV, pp. 1—41.) In the notes appended by the Editor 
of “Srray Fratuers,” we find on page 36 of Volume IV, 
a list of 31 species that belong “exclusively, so far as the 
region with which we are dealing is concerned, to Mount 
Aboo.”” By examining this list of the birds we have found at 
Khandala, &c., it will be seen that we have no less than 23 
(or perhaps 25) of these specialties of Mount Aboo within our 
borders.* Those we have not found are the following :— 
9.—Falco peregrinator. 
13.—Hypotriorchis subbuteo. 
715 ter.— Ephialtes bakhamuna. 
77.—Athene radiata. 
147.—Paleornis eupatria. 
171.—Gecinus striolatus. 
219.— Taccocua Leschenaulti. 
404 ter.—Pomatorhinus obscurus. 
But 219 may be the same bird that we have identified as 
222 Taccocua affinis, and 404 ter may be the same bird as the 
one we call 404 Pomatorhinus Horsfieldit. 
As to Captain Butler’s entire list, it contains 102 species 
that we have not found in the region we have under review.

* This is what might have been expected, one great characteristic of the avi- 
fauna of Aboo being, as I pointed out, Loc cit, the strong admixture of Southern 
forms, which here find their northernmost limit, and are nowhere found j

plains country round about.—Ep., 8. F
