As. Soc. Bengal (.1808), xxxvii. pp. 208-218. 
The district lies in Central India, about 200 miles south of 
Agra, and at an elevation of 1400 feet and upwards. A nominal 
list of 178 species observed is given, to which are prefixed a 
few notes on some of them.

tida is described,

After a few words of introduction, an alphabetical list of the 
localities, with their geographical position and elevation above 
the sea (from 1000 to 17,000 feet), at whieh the species were 
obtained is given. Then follows a list of these species, 190 
in number, with their localities, and a few remarks. The paper 
is a valuable one, from the well-known accuracy of its author, 
who makes a few identifications of species not hitherto suspeeted ; 
and the English version is more valuable still from the trans- 
lator’s notes.

Eight are described as new (see PicidaBj Pittid(B, Tiinaliidde,

localities are given. [Cf, Ibis, 1868, p. 482.]

pp. 1-70. 
The author’s collections in the Himalaya and Tibet have been 
examined by Herr von Pelzeln [vide supra). In the present 
paper, after some introductory remarks and an elaborate de- 
seription of the natural features of the Sutlej valley. Dr. Stoliczka 
enumerates the species which have fallen under his observation 
in that district between May and Oetober, 280 in number, add- 
ing notes which give a great variety of valuable information 
respecting many of them. Three species (belonging to Plo- 
ceidcB, Fringillid(By and Alaudidee) are described as new, and 
two others [Cinclid (2 and Sylviida) may probably be so as 
well; but to these latter the author refrains from applying 
names. Six species are in all added to, and four probably 
subtracted from, the Indian fauna by him. [(y. Ibis, 1869,
