 Falconidce used in India in Falconry. [Cut of hooded

This small pamphlet of 38 pp. contains much practical infor- 

 mation derived by the author from personal experience in 

 India. It is a reprint of three articles, with the same title, 

 which appeared in The Field of July 22, Aug. 5, and Aug. 26, 

 1871. 



Schlegel cites a treatise on Falconry in India written in English, 

 bu*; known to him only through a German translation in Wiers- 

 bitzki's Tasclienbuch fur Jdger und Naturfreunde (see German 

 authors. No. 116). It contains some curious details about 

 Hawking as practised in India in modern times. To this 

 it may be added that in Hume's " Scrap-Book, or Rough 

 Notes on Indian Oology and Ornithology" (two parts, Svo, Cal- 

 cutta, 1869-70), will be found some excellent notes commu- 

 nicated by Mr. R. Thompson of Gurhwal, on hawking in India 

 with the Peregrine, Saker, Goshawk, Sparrow-hawk and Hobby, 

 the last-named being flown at the Hoopoe, and affording very 

 pretty sport.
