In the dictionaries, the names of birds, like the names of 
plants, are rarely translated correctly. Je rdon, however. is re- 
what erratic. ‘The following vocabulary has been compiled 
almost entirely from Je:don and lis spelling has been retained, 
except in the cases of those words that have been met with by 
the compilers in the course of reading.. The Urdu and Hindi 
names only have been extracted. The number against a name is 
the serial nnmber in Jerdon. Vocabulary of “the Urdu ana 
Hindi names of birds is compiled from Surgeon- Major T, C. Jer- 
don’s “ Birds of India.”
