Common. (H.N.T.). One specimen was procured in the Yatsank 

 State at about 2500 ft.

This species was common on the lake at Fort; Stedman and on the 

 marsh near Yatsauk. 



*262 (1404). Porphyrio polioqephalus, Lath. 

 Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, IV, p. 178. 

 The same remark applies to this as to the preceding species.

Family Gruid2E. 



*264 (1410). Grus sharpii, Blanf. 

 Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, IV, p. J 89. 



Close to the lake of Fort Stedman a couple of parties of this species 

 were seen sufficiently close for identification. So far as my observation 

 goes this bird does not build nearly as large a nest as G. antigone. Its 

 cry too seems to me to differ somewhat.
