20.* HiEKAX EUTOLMOS, Hodg. 



Garo Hills. Appears never to be a common bird anywhere. T received 

 two skins from the above hills, where it was obtained by Mr. Wm. Robert. 

 I never saw it on the east of the Khasi Hills, where it appears to be re- 

 placed by H. melanoleucos, Blyth. Their habits are Shrike-like ; they sit on 

 isolated dead trees in the forest clearings and sally off from time to time 

 to seize some insect. 



37. LiMNAETUS KiEis'iEEir, De vSparre. 



This rare and handsome Hawk Eagle was obtained for me by Mr. 

 W. Robert of the Topographical Survey in the Naga Hills during the cold 

 season. 



Length of wing IS'TS," tail 10," tarsus 395," bill from gape 1-5.'' 

 There is a fine specimen set up in the British Museum. Rare everywhere 

 it appears to have a great range. 



56^5. MiLYUS MELANOTis, Tem. and Schl. 



I obtained this species in February in the Munipur valley ; but it was 

 not numerous. 



80. Glaucidium BroditEI, Burton. 



Naga Hills. This bird is not common in these hills ; its monotonous call 

 at night is not so often heard as about Mussoorie in the N. VV. Provinces. 



82«. HiRTJFDO CAHiEiCA, Sav. = HiEXJNDO Tttleei, Jcrdon. 



My specimens from Munipur are evidently identical with Jerdon's 

 bird observed at Dacca in June, it was the only form in Munipur in Feb- 

 ruary and March, and very numerous at Imphal the capital ; it was then 

 commencing to breed. Darjeeling specimens in the collection of Lord Walden 

 are still more like Cahirica from Egypt. 



tW. 4-6," T. 3-4, t". 0.4," Bf. 0-3." 



Hirundo gutturalis, Scop, is the form I obtained in the Naga Hills 

 at about 5000 feet in January and February, and recorded from the Khasi 

 Hills as H. riistica in my first list. Specimen from Naga Hills measures, 

 W. 4-5," T. 4'3/' t. 0-45," Bf. 3." At Shillong I did not notice them in 

 any number until about July.
