Of tbe above, those to wbicli a single asterisk (*) is pre- 
fixed are winter visitants to the plains and coasts of Hindu- 
stan; wbile those preceded by a double asterisk (**) are 
permanent residents, and breed in some parts, at any rate, 
of the plains of India. 
Nos. 7 and 679, though never extending to the plains, 
are permanent residents throughout the Himalayas. Nos. 
125 and 710 are seasonal visitants, respectively to the 
Western and Eastern portions of the Himalayas; while 
351 bis occurs as a rare straggler, far in the interior in the 
Central portion of the mountains. 
Turtur auritus has never, I believe, been recorded from 
any portion of our hills. Every one of these thirty species 
except Strepsilas interpres, Totanus glottis, and Tringa 
Temmincki, is believed to breed in the hills or plains of 
Yarkand. 
Nine species are perhaps best known as Indian, viz. : — 
56 Milvus govinda. 
*261 Lanius cristatus. 
470 Oriolus kundoo (PI. XI.).
