A FEW ADDITIONAL NOTES ON BIRDS ON THE PULNEY HILLS. 457 
964.—Querquedula crecca, Lin. 
Very plentiful. I saw an immense flock on a tank by the 
roadside leading to Hassan. I should not like to make a 
guess as to their number, but might safely put it down as 
over 500. 
965.—Querquedula circia, Lin. 
I have had an occasional one brorght to me for sale. I 
have not been able to state when the above enumerated 
Duck and Teal come and go, for I have only been able to 
make short visits to the plains, my duties keeping me at the 
hills especially during the winter months. 
975.—Podiceps minor, Gm. 
Very common. Breeding in May. On the 23rd May I had 
three young ones alive brought to me. 
[NoPe.—This paper, which oaly includes some 130 species, is of course 
far from exhaustive. I know at least fifty species for certain that are 
omitted, but have no time to refer to my notes and do not like entering 
them from memory. I believe the number of species occurring in this 
sub-district to be nearly 250. I have made a good number of alterations in 
names, changing, for instance, NV. percnopterus to N. ginginianus, H. daurica 
to H. erythropygia, Otocompsa jocosa to O. fuscicaudata, Thamnobia 
cambaiensis to fulicata, and so on in cases in which | was sure which 
species occurred in Manzeerabad, but there are species in regard to which 
Iam not certain which occurs, as in the cases of Spizalauda deva and 
malabarica, Alauda gulgula and australis, Carpophaga insignis and cuprea, 
and in such cases I have entered both names together with a note of 
interrogation. 
Although imperfect. I think this paper may be useful, as a first list, for 
others to work upon.—ED., 8S. F

By * * * (a), 
My notes are very few considering the country I was in 
and the majority of them are merely, I fear, a repetition of 
what appeared some time ago in Mr. Fairbank’s list. 
I did not go to the Pulneys for the purpose of collecting 
birds, but made one of a party after large game, consequently 
could not go letting offmy gun all over the place whenever 
a 
(a) I regret to say that this paper has been lying so long in my 
portfolio that I have forgotten who sent it to me. No name is attached to it. If the 
author will communicate his name, it shall be duly acknowledged in the next num- 
ber. —Ep., 8: FE.
