ABOO AND NORTH GUZERAT. 217 



956.— Tadorna vulpanser, Mem. 



The Shieldrake is another species which has turned up in 

 Kattywar, at a place called Nowanugger, since my first paper 

 was published. The specimen referred to was obtained by Mr. 

 James (" S. F.," Vol. IV., p. 496.) 



PART 2. 



Further remarks upon some of the species included in my 

 first paper. 



3.— Gyps fulvus, Gmel. 



Never having since seen a specimen of the bird entered in my 

 first paper under this head, Vol. III., p. 441, I am inclined 

 now to think I was mistaken in the identity, and that the species 

 should be expunged from the list. 



38.— Circaetus gallicus, Gmel. 



This species is commoner in the plains than my previous re- 

 marks, Vol. III., p. 446, would lead people to suppose, occurring 

 sparingly throughout the whole district. 



70.— Urrua coromanda, Lath. 



This species is also much commoner than I thought, especially 

 in the tank country where its well-known and remarkable call 

 " Wo, wo, wo, wo-o-o-o-o ; wo, wo, wo-o-o-o-o, &c." may be 

 heard in almost every large tree from the commencement of the 

 rains up to the breeding reason. They breed in the cold weather 

 commencing about the middle or end of November. 



86.— Lagenoplastes fluvicola, Jerd. 



I have lately met with this species about 10 miles N. of 

 Ahmedabad on the Deesa road. 



87.— Cotyle riparia, Linn. 



I have not succeeded in procuring another specimen of the 

 European Sand Martin, but as the species has since turned up in 

 Sind {vide S. F. Vol. IV., p. 507), and as I still feel confident 

 that the bird previously alluded to by me (Vol. III., p. 452) 

 was correctly identified, I think the species should still remain 

 on our list.
