An abstract of a letter from E. Blyth, Esq., curator to the mu- 
seum at Calcutta, was then read. It contains the following list of 
birds, with observations upon them, which are found both in India 
and Europe :— 
Aquila chrysaétos, Vig. Inhabits the mountains. 
Falco peregrinus, Gmel. Inhabits the mountains. 
Tinnunculus, Linn. Common. 
Pernis apivorus, Auct. Moderately common. 
Circus rufus, Auct. Moderately common. 
- cyaneus, Auct. Moderately common. 
cineraceus, Auct. Moderately common. 
Otus brachyotus, Flem. Not rare. 
Strix flammea, Linn. Common. 
Hirundo rustica, Linn. Found in the Himalayas. 
riparia, Linn. Inhabits the Himalayas. 
Sazicola Rubetra, Temm. Not uncommon. 
rubicola, Temm. Not uncommon. 
Sylvia Hippolais, Lath. Not uncommon. 
Suecica, Lath. Not uncommon. 
Turdus viscivorus, Linn. Inhabits the Himalayas. 
Pyrgita domestica, Auct. Very common. 
montana, Auct. Inhabits the Himalayas; is found also at 
Chusan on the east, and Affghanistan on the west, in both places re- 
presenting the house-sparrow. 
Corvus pica, Linn Is found, according to report, in Affghanistan. 
I have seen the true British species from Chusan. There is a distinct 
but nearly allied species at Bootan, which may also be that of Aff- 
ghanistan. 
Corvus Coraz, Linn. Inhabits the mountains, but not the plains ; 
it is there replaced by a smaller species*, often mistaken for the 
common raven. 
Fregilus Graculus, Selby. Abounds in the Himalayas. 
Sturnus vulgaris, Linn. Is seen commonly in the bird-shops at 
Calcutta, being brought from the hills. 
* Mr. Blyth probably alludes to the species to which Col. Sykes gave 
the name culminatus.
