270 W. T. Blanford— Wardka valhy Birds. [No. 3, 



gipes, Gallinago stenura, and Falcinellus igneus* are wanting. I 

 have never seen Anser Indians, although it occurs occasionally both 

 at Nagpur and on the Godavari and Pelicans seem to be remarkably 

 scarce. 



I have prefixed the numbers from Jerdon's Birds of India to 

 each species, the names used are of course different in several 

 instances. Where no number is affixed, the species is not de- 

 scribed in Jerdon's work. 

 No. 2. Vultur calvus. 



5. Gyps Bengalensis : G. indicus probably occurs also. 



6. Neophron per cnopterus. 

 11. Falcojugger, not common. 



16. Lithofalco chicquera, not common. 



17. Tinnunculus alaudarius. 



23. Micronisus hadius. 



24. Accipiter nisus, rare. 



29. Aquila fulvescens, not uncommon. 



Spilornis spilogaster, common in wooded parts of the 

 country, on the banks of streams. 

 40. Pandion haliceetus, not often seen. 

 48. Poliomis teesa. 



51. Circus Swainsoni. 



52. G. cineraceus. 



54. G CBruginosus. 



55. Saliastur indus, not common. 



56. Milms govinda. 

 M. major, rare. 



57. Pernis cristata. 



59. Elanus melanopterus. 



65. Biilaca ocellata. I shot Otus hrachyotus in Nagpur just 



outside the Chanda district, but I have not met with 



it within the latter. 

 69. Ascalaphia Bengalensis. 

 72. Ketupa Geylonensis. 



* I only mention this bird because Jerdon speaks of it as found throughout 

 India. I have never seen it myself in Central or Western India, and the 

 only places where I have met with it are in Lower Bengal and Orissa.
