42 LIST OF BIRDS KNOWN TO BREED IN INDIA, &C. 



The remaining^ columns require little explanation. The portion marked 

 off opposite each bird's name indicates the season and duration of the 

 period in which its eggs may be found. 



The breeding season thus noted includes every month in which each 

 bird is known to breed in any locality. Where the breeding of a bird 

 is confined for any particular season to any particular locality, a letter 

 signifying the locality is placed over the line denoting the breeding during 

 that month. Where no distinguishing letter is placed over the line, 

 it indicates that the bird in that month is breeding wherever it is found.
