156 Supplement to the Catalogue of the Brids [No. 30. 



iragments being partly flat and partly curved ; which would lead me to believe 

 thut the Vase or pot must have been a flat bottomed vessel. I had a piece 

 oi' this description laid by, but I am sorry to say it has been lost.

 From Major Burn's observations it is probable that the 

 vessel to which the handles were attached was of a flatter 

 shape than that represented in the drawing. 



VI. Supplement to the Catalogue of Birds of the Peninsula of 

 India, by T. C. Jerdon, Esq. 

 {From No. 29, page 227.) 



[Nlte.— In consequence of the suspension of the Journal, this article was printed by the 

 author and circulated among his friends— but has never hitherto been published.] 



No. I. — Vidtur Indicus. 



This large vulture is by no means so common as the Valour Bengalen- 

 sis, and chiefly seen perhaps in the neighbourhood of mountainous and 

 jungly districts. I give the dimensions of one killed in a valley on the 

 range of Northern Ghauts between Kunner and Ajunteh. Total length 

 43 inches ; extent of wings upwards of 8 feet ; Aving from flexure 29 

 inches ; tail 12 ; tarsus nearly 5 ; mid-toe with claw 5 ; hind do. 3£ ; bill 

 straight to gape 3. Irides brown ; bill and cere bluish horny ; legs dirty 

 cinereous. 



No. 6. — Pandion Uneatus f 



This may have been the Halicetus Icthycetus (No. 8) which 

 I have not yet observed myself. 



10. — Aquila bifasciata. 



I have some doubts whether this be a distinct species or 

 not from the Wokhab ( Aquila Vindhiana J, but if they are 

 identical, at what age and under what circumstances the 

 white markings on the wings appear, I am not aware. I pos- 

 sess a specimen, shot in company with several of the Wokhab, 

 which had the white bands though not distinctly denned. 

 It was larger than the generality of that bird, and I give its 

 dimensions for comparison.
