(441) Alcedo I8PIDA. — The Little Indian Kingfisher. 

 Hume, No. 134. 

 Very common everywhere. 



(442) Alcedo beavani. — Beavan's Kingfisher. 

 Rume, No. 134 Ter. 

 This beautiful little kingfisher is not. very rare, but is often over- 

 looked as it is not easy to discriminate between it and the last species 

 unless they are almost in one's hands. 



(443) Alcedo grandis. — The Great Indian Kingfisher. 

 Hume, No. 135. 

 Practically all I know about this bird is recorded in Hume's " Nests 

 and Eggs " (Vol. Ill, p. 4 et seq,), and it is therefore necessary for me 

 to add but little here.
