The ground under the tree was littered with fowl's feathers and 

 pellets containing squirrel's skulls. Though I have visited the nest 

 every year since I have not again found eggs, though the birds were 

 always in the vicinity and the nest was sometimes lined with green 

 leaves. When I last visited the spot on 25th December 1914, I saw 

 the birds pairing and observed a half built nest on a tree close to 

 that containing the old nest, which on this occasion had been 

 occupied by a pair of white backed vultures. The new nest I was 

 subsquently told was blown down. 



1216. The short-toed Eagle — Circaetus ffallicus. 



I have seen this eagle at Muridke in January but cannot say 

 whether it breeds round Lahore. 



1217. The Crested Serpent-Eagle — Spilornis cheela. 



I have seen what I think was this species at f Lahore in the cold 

 weather. I did not shoot the bird but the well marked light bars on 

 the wing make me think it was this species. 

 1220. The White-eyed Buzzard-Eagle — Butastur teesa. 



Common resident at Lahore, though somewhat scarce in the cold 

 weather. It breeds in April. 

 1223. Pallas's Fishing Eagle — -Haliaetus leucoryphus . 



Breeds at Lahore and is I think resident. I have taken eggs at the 

 end of October, and only know of the one pair that breed anywhere near 

 Lahore. 



1228. The Brahminy Kite — Haliastur iudMS. 



I have observed this bird in the cold weather at Lahore in October 

 and March, but I have not observed it at other times and do not think 

 that it breeds in the vicinity. 



1229. The Common Pariah Kite — Milvus rjovinda. 



Very common at Lahore where it is resident and breeds from 

 January to March, chiefly in the latter month. 

 1232. The Black-winged Kite — Elanus cmruleus. 



I have seen this bird in the cold weather at Lahore and in March 

 and July so it may breed there. I have found it breeding at Peshawar 

 in May. 

 ]236. The Pied Harrier — Circus melanoleucus. 



I have seen at Lahore on several occasions in October what on the 

 wing looked like a black Harrier with a conspicuous white rump 

 which I took to be this species, but as I did not shoot the bird I 

 cannot be certain. There is at least one other species of the genus 

 circus which occurs round Lahore in the cold weather, but as I did 

 not shoot the birds and the members of this Genus are to much alike 

 I cannot venture to predict to which species they are assignable. 

 1239. The Long-legged Buzzard — Butes ferox . 



This bird may be met with at Lahore in the cold weather from 

 September onwards. 

 1244. The Shikra — Astur badius. 



A common resident at Lahore, breeding chiefly in April but also in 

 May. 

 1247. The Sparrow-Hawk — Accipiter nisus. 



At Atari in February I have seen a hawk which looked very like 

 this species, and which my hawker who seldom made a mistake 

 affirmed to be so. 

 1249. The Crested Honey-Buzzard — Pernis ciistatus. 



This bird at Lahore is 1 think a hot weather visitor only arriving in 

 April and leaving in October, and seldom if ever being seen during 

 the cold weather. I have only found nests with eggs in May. The
