ROUGH LIST OF THE BIRDS OF WESTERN KHANDESH. 289 
of the Satpuras. The men who brought it, however, only 
produced it as I was leaving, and the distance was too great to 
send any one on the chance of the bird being still about the nest. 
It, therefore, like many other good eggs, had to be thrown away. 
I think however it probably belonged to this species. 
? 40.—Pandion haliaetus, Lin. The Osprey. 
A large whitish Eagle was not uncommon along the Tapti 
hovering over the river, which I believe to have been an Osprey. 
I unfortunately have not got a specimen. 
48.—Butastur teesa, Frankl. The White-Eyed 
Buzzard. 
Permanent resident. It breeds all over the district, but 
is not as common in Khandeshas in the Deccan. Nests were 
taken in March and April in the plains, the Satpuras, and 
Akrani. 
51.—Circus macrurus,* 8. G. Gm. The Pale Har- 
rier. 
Winter visitant; is exceedingly common; the earliest speci- 
men I remember seeing was on September 4th, and the latest 
on 8th April. 
52.—Circus cineraceus,* Mont. Montague’s Har- 
rier, 
Winter visitant ; common; but not so common as macrurus. 
53.—Circus eruginosus,* Zin. The Marsh Har- 
rier. 
Winter visitant; not uncommon but local, and generally 
confined to the river sides. Noticed as late as April 29th. 
55.—Haliastur indus,* Bodd. The Brahminy Kite. 
Permanent resident. Very local. Along the*Panjra“it is 
common, and breeds in February, there being a nest about every 
two miles along that river. Elsewhere, except along the Tapti, 
I have only noticed the bird about a dozen times. 
56.—Milvus govinda,* Sykes. The Common Pariah 
Kite. 
Permanent resident, very common, breeding from November 
to March and probably at other seasons. 
57.—Pernis ptilorhynchus,* Zem. The Crested 
Honey Buzzard. | 
Probably a permanent resident; not common but certainly 
seen in all months, except March to June. No nests seen.
