BUSTARDS. 



Will members try and send the undersigned any notes on the 

 shooting and breeding of Bustards in India to help in the compilation 

 of the manuscript for the series of " Game Birds of India " for the 

 Journal? 



It appears that in places in which Hume recorded Bustards as 

 plentiful they are now very rare and full information as to the 

 diminution in numbers of these beautiful birds in India is badly 

 wanted. 



I shall be glad to purchase or exchange for Skins and Eggs and 

 would hand them over to the Society's Museum when my articles are 

 completed.
