OF MANZEERABAD, MYSORE. 455 
January. I lost sight of them then, and did not notice them 
till the following cold weather. 
23.—Astur badius, G'm. 
Common ; I did not, however, succeed in procuring a speci- 
men ; each time I went out with my gun to procure one, they 
seemed to make themselves scarce. 
24.—Accipiter nisus, Zin. 
This species, like No. 17, is a cold weather visitant. One paid 
me a visit, and in a very short space of time did away with a 
number of pigeons which I had. I did not give him the chance 
of leaving the country with his brethren. 
38.—Circaetus gallicus, Gm. 
Common in the plains. I shot one specimen just as he had 
succeeded in capturing a field rat. 
51.—Circus macrurus, S. G. Gm. 
Rare ; I have only seen two in the plains. 
55.—Haliastur indus, Bodd. 
Rare up in the hill tracts; very common in the plains. 
56.—Milvus govinda, Sykes. 
Most abundant everywhere. 
60.—Strix javanica, Gm. 
The only one I saw, I shot in April 1882, after a great deal 
of trouble, for he always kept just out of range of my gun, 
63.—Syrnium indranee, Sykes. 
Rare ; I have not shot it myself, but a friend shot one fifteen 
miles south of where I was, and he sent me the skin. 
65.—Syrnium ocellatum, Less. 
I shot one of a pair seen in March, 1882. 
70.—Bubo coromandus, Lath. 
if shot a female off her nest, a mass of sticks, laid between 
two immense arms of a mango tree ; the nest contained one 
hard-set egg. This was in April, 1882. 
76.—Carine brama, Tem. 
Very common. Breeding in April. Eggs taken on the Ist 
and 27th of April, 1883.
