Obtained in the avenues near the north base in October 1 866, 

 but I did not find it this year, though 775 came in flocks to 

 feed on the jambul fruit at Periur, and the people said that this 

 was common there. 



775.— Osmotreron malabarica, Jerd. 



Obtained at Periur. The fruit of a zizyphus was ripening, 

 and they came in flocks to feed on it. 



* 786.— Palumbus elphinstonei, Syhes. 



Obtained both in the Kodaikanal at 7,000 feet, and on the 

 lower hills at 4,000 feet. They were scarce in May, but came 

 by the dozen in June to feed on some kinds of fruits that 

 were then ripening in the Kodai grove, but they were so 

 much persecuted by every one who could get hold of a gun, 

 that they remained wary. 



788.— Columba intermedia, Strichl. 



Observed a flock by the fall of Levinge's brook. But this 

 bird is not abundant on the Palanis. 



794.— Turtur cambayensis, Gm.
