NOTES. 515 
IN continuation of his letters (ante, p. 425) Mr. R. N. Stoker 
sends exact measurements and weights of three more 
female Scaup and three more female Golden Eyes, shot by him 
subsequent to the date of his former communications on the 
20th and 21st of December, some 12 miles up the Indus 
above Attock. So few specimens of these species have been 
obtained and carefully examined in India that these figures 
are worthy of record :—

These six birds were shot 12 miles be the Indus above 
Attock, December 20th and 2Ist, by R. N. Stoker. 
Lone ago Mr. Doig sent me exact measurements and 
description of colours of soft parts of ten svecimens of Falco 
babylonicus procured by him in Sindh, and I think these 
accurate particulars recorded from the fresh specimens are 
worth preserving, and therefore I reproduce them now :—
