834 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SOCIETY, Vol. XXVir \ 



\ 

 I 



have attempted to have described the birds myself, would have altered the 

 wording but by no means improved either the description or the text, and 

 hence my copying " verbatim " from the works referred to. 



The drawings in the accompanying Plates are from memory. I should have 

 preferred keeping them for some time until I was able to check them with actual .j 

 specimens on the wing, but to do so I should have to keep them over the winter, \ 

 when alone a number of the birds represented may be seen, which would make i 

 them too late for the next number of the Journal. On the whole, they describe ^ 

 fairly well what they represent, except perhaps for some detail which may pos- 

 sibly be wrong, though the crudeness of the sketches net^d an apology to tha 

 members of the B. N. H. Society. 



For explanation of Plates see Birds of Prey of the Punjab, Part VII 

 page 514 of this volume.
