" The Juggur is the most common of the large Falcons of India, 
and is a bird of a heavier and slower flight than any of the other 
Falcons of this country, and is held in less estimation by the 
natives."— (Jerd. Madr. J. X. p. 80.) " "Whilst the Bhyree (^F. 
peregrinus) prefers the sea-coast and the neighbourhood of lakes, 
rivers, and wet cultivation, and the Shaheen {F. peregrinator) de- 
lights in hilly and wooded regions, the Luggur, on the contrary, 
frequents open dry plains and vicinity of cultivation. It makes its 
nest in some lofty tree, generally one standing alone among some 
grain-fields, and lays four eggs. In a wild state it preys on a great

midst of a cantonment. It is trained to hunt crows, paddy-birds, 
partridges, and florikin, and it is said has been trained to kill the 
heron {A. cinered). 
In hawking crows, (C. culminatus) chiefl}", it is slipped from the 
hand, and the crow, when aware of its danger, uses every artifice to 
escape, taking refuge among cattle, horses, vehicles, and even enter-

by a washerman's fire, close to which the crow was attempting to 
take refuge when it was struck. After paddy-birds {Ardea huhulcus) 
it is also slipped from the hand, and as this bird is always found on 
the plains feeding among herds of cattle, it affords considerable sport 
by its dexterity in diving among and under the cattle, and the ven-
