sell hawks, in the Kangra District, have told me 

 that there is no demand for them and that when 

 caught in the nets they generally release them 

 though they always keep the Baslia. 



Out of the dozens of the smaller hawks I have 

 caught in various parts of the Himalayas, the little 

 male above referred to is the only one that I have 

 ever succeeded in catching, and yet it does not 

 appear to be very rare and is certainly widely dis- 

 tributed all over the Himalayas, Mr. Hume record- 

 ing specimens from Giu-hwal, Murree and Lahore. 



Nothing appears to be known of its breeding in 

 the Punjab though Blanford records nests taken 

 in Sikkhim and Ceylon, both nest and eggs resem- 

 bling those of the preceding species. 



To he continued.
