In habits McQueen's Bustard is stated to agree closely with the Houbara Bustard in every 

 respect ; and, like that species, it is often pursued and captured by tame Falcons, and is said to 

 give excellent sport. Its nest, which is merely a hole scratched in the soil, is made in similar 

 localities to that of Otis undulata ; and its eggs are said to resemble those of that species ; but I 

 do not possess any for comparison. 



The specimen figured is an adult male from Sindh in my own collection ; and I have not 

 deemed it necessary to figure the female, as the difference between the sexes is so small. 



In the preparation of the above article I have examined the -following specimens : — 



E Mus. H. E. Dresser. 



a, 3 , b, 5 . Sindh. c, J . N.W. India (Burton) . 



E Mus. Howard Saunders, 

 a, 2 • N.W. India. 



E Mus. H. B. Tristram, 

 a, b. Sirsa, Punjab, December 31st:, 1869.
