" The Raven, the Carrion Crow, and the Rook, are inhabitants of 

 Assam, but are seldom found in the depths of the forests. They 

 rather follow the footsteps of man, and establish themselves in small 

 numbers in the vicinity of villages and such places on the banks of 

 rivers as are frequented by travellers as halting-places. The Hooded 

 Crow is very common, but I did not perceive anything peculiar 

 about it to induce me to add it to my collection." — McClelland's MS.
