182. Gallinago solitcuia. — The Himalayan Solitary Snipe. [I486.] 



A good many isolated specimens of this species are shot in Baluchistan 

 in the winter months. Five or six were shot to my knowledge in the 

 winter of 1913-1914. One shot on October 12th, 1913, by Capt. Brown, 

 58th Rifles, was sent to me by Lt.-Col. Venour, commanding that Regiment. 

 1 skinned the bird and the specimen is now in the MacMahon Museum 

 at Quetta, where there are also several other specimens. It is a winter 

 visitant only. 



183. Gallinago r/allinula. — The Jack Snipe. [1487.] 



A few birds of this species are shot every year in Baluchistan in the 

 winter months. One was shot in October 1913 at the edge of the Lora 

 River near the Galbraith Spinney, Quetta Valley, by Capt. Pery Knox 

 Gore, Royal Welch Fusiliers, who was out with me. This species is also 

 only a winter visitant. 



Larid^. 



184. Larus ridibundus. — The Lavighing Gull. [1490.] 



Fairly common in Baluchistan, during the winter months, on pieces of 

 water like Khushdil Khan Lake. It does not remain to breed. There are 

 four specimens in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



185. Hydroprogne caspia. — The Caspian Tern. [1498.] 



This species is found on Khushdil Khan Lake, and probably in other 

 similar places in Baluchistan. There is one specimen in the MacMahon 

 Museum at Quetta. 



186. Sterna cantiaca. — The Sandwich Tern. [1500.] 



This species is found in Baluchistan during the winter months, but does 

 not stay to breed. There is one specimen in the MacMahon Museum at 

 Quetta from Las Beyla. 



Pelecanid.e. 



187. Pelecaaus onocrotalus . — The White or Roseate Pelican. [1521.] 



A resident species in Baluchistan in suitable localities. There were four 

 specimens in the MacMahon Museum. Marshall records seeing these 

 birds migrating in February at Baton Kuch. He says Pelecanus voseux, 

 but probably it was this species. 



Phalacrocoracid^. 



188. Phalacrocorax carbo. — The Large Cormorant. [1526.] 



Not common, but some are always to be seen on pieces of water like 

 the Khushdil Khan Lake. I do not think they breed in Baluchistan. 

 There is a specimen in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



SULID.E. 



189. Sula leucogaster. — The Brown Gannet. [1630. | 



A shore bird. There is a specimen in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 

 It is said to be common in the coast of Baluchistan. 



Ibibid.e. 



190. Plegadis falcinellus. — The Glossy Ibis. [1544.] 



I occasionally saw this species in the Quetta Valley in winter. There 

 are two specimens, said to be of this species, in the MacMahon Museum 

 at Quetta.
