318 ROUGH LIST OF THE BIRDS OF WESTERN KHANDESH.: 
834.—Turnix joudera, Hodgs. The Large Button 
Quail. 
Rare. The only specimen I saw I caught among some grass 
among the Satpuras. This was in March. 
835.—Turnix dussumieri, Zem. The Small Button 
Quail. 
~ Rare. <A few specimens seen in the cold weather in 
Nizampur, and in the rains in Dhulia. I obtained one nest in 
September. Probably they are commoner than I suppose 
as I beat few places for Quail. 
836.—Eupodotis edwardsi, J. #. Gr. The Indian 
Bustard. 
Moderately common in the hot and cold weathers in the 
plain along the.Tapti, and in Pimpalnir and Nizampur. I 
have seen flocks of at least twenty birds in the Nandurbar 
taluka. 
839.—Sypheotides aurita, Lath. The Lesser Flo- 
rican. 
Breeds in moderate numbers in a few places in the district, 
round Dharamgaum in Erandole, near Kapurna in the north- 
west of Dhulia, and in a few other places. I have seen it 
occasionally in the cold weather in Nandurbar, but I think 
almost all the birds leave the district at the end of the rains. 
?842.—Glareola orientalis, Zeach. The Eastern 
Pratincole. 
Rare. In November 1879 there were a considerable flock 
of Pratincoles at Prakasha on the Tapti. They used to fly 
backwards and forwards along the Goma on the bank of which 
I was encamped in the evening. I stupidly neglected to pro- 
cure any specimens, so enter it as doubtful as it is just 
possible that the birds may have been G. pratincola. 
845.—Charadrius fulvus, Gm. The Eastern Golden 
Plover. 
Cold weather visitant ; rare. Only noticed by me on one or 
two occasions, and never in large flocks. 
850.—Asgialitis jerdoni,* Legge. The Lesser 
Ring Plover. 
Permanent resident. Common along all the rivers, and along 
the sides of the Mukhti tank. I took eggs on the Tapti in
