994 ROUGH LIST OF THE BIRDS OF WESTERN KHANDESH. 
100.—Cypsellus affinis,* J. B. Gr. The Common 
Indian Swift. 
Permanent resident. Common everywhere; apparently 
breeding at all seasons. 
102.—Cypsellus battasiensis,* J. #. Gr. The Palm 
Swift. 
Probably a permanent resident. Only noticed by me in the 
Shada and Taloda talukas, where there are a few palmyra 
palms round most of the villages on the fringe of the Satpuras. 
There were a pair or two breeding in the hot weather in almost 
every one of these. 
104.—Dendrochelidon coronata,* Tick. The Indian 
Crested Swift. 
Restricted to the lower ranges of the Satpuras, the plains 
jungle along their bases, the chats near Kondabhari, and a few of 
the spurs ‘through Nandurbar. I have never noticed it in the 
Akrani or higher “Satpuras. It breeds early in January and 
the beginning of February, nesting singly in the low plains 
jungle. At Wurgaum in Shada, during the last week of 
February, I found. four nests on consecutive days at heights 
varying from eight to tw enty-five feet from the ground ; three of 
these however contained each a young bird, ‘and the fourth 
contained a fresh egg ofa pale stone colour. The nests are easily 
found, as_ the male. ‘keeps flying round and round the place in a 
cirele of a hundred yards or so,:and the hen answers him occa- 
sionally from the nest, so that finding it is only a matter of 
a little patience. 
107.—Caprimulgus Engligusst Lath, The Jungle 
Nightjar. 
Very common in the hot weather in the Satpuras. It isa 
very noisy bird, and its call cannot: possibly be mistaken. I 
have repeatedly followed the cry and found the bird sitting on 
a tree—a fact I have not noticed in the case of other Nightjars. 
112.—Caprimulgus asiaticus,* Lath. The Indian 
Nightjar. | 
Permanent resident. Very common all through the district 
wherever there are rocks and scrub jungle. It breeds abun- 
dantly all round Dhulia in July, August, and the beginning of 
September. ae:
