Citron tree in a garden ; with it were two eggs and a small and 

 weakly youngster of the owners of the nest, but they had all 

 vanished on my next visit on the 7th July. The young Cuckoo 

 had also gone by the 1 4th of July, but he had probably fallen a 

 prey to some marauder. This species has a variety of shrill 

 metallic notes, faintly reminiscent of the Koel's wildest shrieks, 

 but the common call-note may perhaps be expressed by the 

 syllables "Ple-ue." 



1120. The Indian Koel — Eudynaonis honorata, L. 



This abundant summer visitor arrived about the middle of 

 April (the first individual being noted on the 10th of that 

 month), and began to leave again in September, but few birds 

 being left by the end of that month. The last that I noted was 

 on the 3rd October. Several eggs were obtained from the nests 

 of Corvus spiendens in June and July. 



1135. The Large Indian Paroquet — Palceornis nepalensis, Hodgs, 

 Common and probably resident. 



1138. The Rose-ringed Paroquet — Palcsornis forquatus (Bodd.) 



Most abundant and resident. Breeds about March and April. 



1139. The Western Blossom-headed Paroquet — Paltsornis cyanocepJialus 



(L.) 



Single birds were noted on July 8th, 15th, and 16th and on 

 October 6th. I think I heard some about in the last week of 

 December 1918. 



1152. The Barn Ow\—Strixflammea, Linn. 



Not iincommon and probably resident. From May to June 

 two or three were living in a small group of palm trees in the 

 Sessions Judge's garden, but I could only find one individual 

 there in August and September. Two or three were also living 

 in or about the Treasury buildings, and they often appeared in 

 my garden at dusk. Both lots of owls were sometimes to be 

 heard calling after dusk daring the hot weather. 



1157. The Short-eared Owl — Asio accipitrinus (Pall.) 



A party of some half-a-dozen of these owls were found sleep- 

 ing in the branches of a Kikur tree by the roadside in the last 

 week of December 1913. 



1169. The Dusky Horned Owl — Bubo coromandus (Lath.) 



Resident and probably not uncommon in the district. I only 

 knew of the presence of one pair in the neighbourhood of 

 Gujranwala itself. 



1180. The Spotted Owlet — Athene brania (Temm.) 



Resident and abundant. A nest with young was found on 

 15th April. 



1190. The Cinereous Vulture. — Vultur monachus, Linn. 



One was seen on December 26th, 1913, in company with some 

 other vultures. 



1191. The Black or Pondicherry Vulture — Oioyypa calvus (Scop.) 



Occasionally observed and probably resident.
