Ii561. The Little Egret — Herodias (/arzetta (Linn.). 



Observed about in small numbers in July, but it was, I think, 

 less common than the next species, from which it is with 

 difficulty distinguished when on the wing ; it was not definitely 

 identified in any other month, but some of the parties of Egrets 

 met with from June to October may have been of this species. 



1562. The Cattle Egret — Bulbulcus coromandus (Bodd.). 



A few were noted from May to September in which latter 

 month they became rather common in the rice-fields. By that 

 time they retained but few traces of the buff' breeding plumes. 



1565, The Pond Heron — Ardeola rp-ayi (Sykes.). 



Resident and common ; its numbers seemed to increase about 

 June but this was probably due to birds collecting for breeding. 



1568. The Night Heron — Nycticorax fjriseus, Linn. 



The Night Heron was not uncommon in Gujranwala in July 

 and August. Apart from those two months I only saw a party 

 of four on May 2nd at Nayanwali village towards Wazirabad, and 

 heard one call on the night of 29th March.
