Fam. Vclturid.e. — Vultures. 



(1190). Vultav monachus. — The Cinereous Vulture is rarely met with. A 

 specimen was obtained in December at Manasbal, Kashmir. 



(1191). Otogyps calvus. — The Black Vulture is far from common. 



(1192). Gypsfulvus. — The Griffon Vulture breeds in colonies in the high 

 cliffs in March and is resident in many districts. 



(1193). Gyps himalayensis. — The Himalayan Griffon is widely distributed. 

 Most of the eggs I have are dated March. 



(U9i). Gyps indicus. — The Indian Long-billed Vulture. Up to date I have 

 not secured a specimen, and I am very doubtful whether this bird is to be found. 



(1*19.5). Gyps tenuirostris. — The Himalayan Long-billed Vulture does not 

 appear to ascend into the hills, bnt is found on the outer slopes and plains 

 of the Punjab range. 



(1196). Pseudogyps bengalemis, — The Indian White-backed Vulture is rare. 



(1197). Neophron percnopterus. — The Egyptian Vulture breeds occasionally in 

 Kashmir and in the side valleys. 



Fam. Falconid/k. 



(1199). Gypaetus barbatus. — The Bearded Vulture can be seen in nearly all 

 the mountainous country. This bird breeds in Kashmir and generally lays in 

 February and March. I have taken mouse-hares out of specimens shot, and on 

 one occasion this vulture took a wounded chukor which was crouched on a 

 rock. A very large egg measured 3'7" x 2"75". 



(1200). Aquila chrysaetus. — The Golden Eagle is a very rare bird. 



(1201). Aquila heliaca. — The Imperial Eagle is not often to be seen; those 

 obtained were killed in the winter in Kashmir. 



(1202). Aquila bifasciata. — The Steppe Eagle is abundant. 



(1203). Aquila vindhiana. — The Indian Tawny Eagle. 



(1207). Hieraetus fasciatus. — Bonelli's Eagle. This Hawk Eagle was breeding 

 in Kishtwar on cliffs in March ; it is not plentiful. 



(1208). Hieraetus pennatus. — The Booted Eagle was obtained in Kashmir in 

 March. 



(1210). Ictinaetus malayensis. — The Black Eagle is met with in the winter, 

 but I cannot remember having ever seen it during the summer months. 



(1211). Spizaetus limna'elus.— -The Changeable Hawk Eagle was included in 

 my list which was made out some years ago, but I am rather inclined to doubt 

 the correctness of the locality assigned to the specimen. 



(1213). Spizaetus uepaleusis. — Hodgson's Hawk-Eagle is a fairly common bird. 



(1216). Circaetus gallicus. — The Short-toed Eagle. 



(1217). Spdornis cheela. — The Crested Serpent Eagle is entered on the 

 strength of a single specimen. 



(1223). Haliaetus leucoryphus. — Pallas Fishing Eagle. 



(1225). Haliaetus albicilla— The White-tailed Sea Eagle. The only place I 

 have seen this bird was on the shores of the Walar Lake.
