All had the gorget, and it was darkest in the females 

 spects all agreed with No. 1, above described. 



The Neemuch specimen was in length 3 feet 1 1 inches, and in breadth 

 9 feet 6 inches. 



The following table will serve to show how much they vary in dimen- 

 sions.

 Now allowing the two females to be of the same length, we shall 

 have an average on the five adult birds in full plumage, of length 

 rather less than four feet and half an inch, and breadth rather more 

 than nine feet one and half inch. 



Postscript. — I formerly noticed the presence of a dark line along the 

 head; this is erroneous, and was merely occasioned by the loss of the 

 occipital feathers in the old specimen, leaving a few stumps and blackish 

 hairs. 



III. — Account of Kdld Bdgh on the right bank of the Indus. By 

 Munshi Mohan la'l. 



During our voyage on the Indus we saw no place on its banks wor- 

 thy of notice except Rori and Kdld Bdgh. The former presented no- 

 thing new which would enter my head in addition to the account read 

 in the work of Captain Burnes, but the latter though in some respect 

 already laid before the public by Mr. Elphinstone, still enchanted 

 me with its appearance. 



The view of Kdld Bdgh or Bdghim from the valley which pours out 

 the Indus is oval ; and from the opposite bank it gives a most striking 

 scenery which I cannot describe in any language. The houses of Kdld 

 Bdgh are built of stones and mud on the very bank of the river. The 

 Bdzdr is so narrow, that two men can hardly pass abreast through it;,
