296 ROUGH LIST OF THE BIRDS OF WESTERN KHANDESH. 
124.—Coracias garrula,* Lin. The Roller. 
A single specimen was obtained by me at Dhulia in Sep- 
tember 1880. 
127.—Pelargopsis gurial,* Pears. The Brown- 
headed Kingfisher. 
Rare. Ihave, however, seen’specimens along most of the 
rivers running among the Satpura hills; also a single specimen 
on the Panjra at Pimpalnir. 
129.—Halcyon smyrnensis,* Zin. The White- 
breasted Kingfisher. 
Parmanent resident; scarce. Breeds about Dhulia in July. | 
134.—Alcedo bengalensis,* Gm. The Indian King- 
fisher. 
Permanent resident. Moderately common along all the rivers. 
136.—Ceryle rudis,* Zin. The Pied Kingfisher. 
Permanent resident. Very common along all the rivers. It 
breeds in January and February. 
144.—Ocyceros birostris,* Scop. The Grey Hornbill. 
Permanent resident, scarce in the Satpuras, but very common 
in all the mango groves in Dhulia and Pimpalnir, and fairly 
common in Nandurbar. It breeds in April, and appears almost 
invariably to return to the same nest-hole. In 1881 I obtained 
egos from every nest I had found in 1880, though, from the 
stupidity of some of the people who discovered them, the hens 
had been killed in 1880. 
147.—Paleornis eupatrius,* Lin. (var).+ The West- 
ern Kose-band Parroquet. 
Permanent resident. Restricted to the Akrani, and the higher 
hills in the Satpuras, though occasionally straggling a few 
miles from their base. It breeds earlier than either of the 
other Parroquets, the young being able to fly frequently by 
Christmas time, though I found one nest containing small 
young ones as late as the middle of March. This Parroquet 
+ The name eupatria applies to the Cingalese form, the Southern Rose-band 
Parroquet. This western form differs—it differs even more markedly from the 
northern form nipalensis (Hodgson), the eastern form indoburmanicus (Hume), and 
the Andamanese form magnirostris (Ball). Whether ali these five forms should be kept 
distinct, or “lumped,” will always remain a matter of opinion. If kept distinct 
the western form will require a name, but it is the least distinct of the five, and 1 do 
not, myself, propose to name it.—Ep., 8, F.
