These notes have been made after an examination of numerous speci- 
mens collected in the Andamans and submitted to Mr. Hume. Several 
additions to the fauna are made, and corrections of former lists sug- 
gested. {^Strigidcc.'] 
. A First List of the Birds of the Travancore Hills. Tom. cit. 
pp. 351-405. 
In this list, 90 species of birds are mentioned, with notes on their 
measurements, colour of the soft parts, locality, &c. All these particulars 
are given by Mr. Frank Bourdillon, the collector, who has also supplied 
a prefatory account of the country where the specimens were collected, 
its physical geography, &c. Mr. Hume has arranged the paper and 
added notes, chiefly on the names employed for many of the species.

On the Identity of Drymoipus terricolor and Drymoipus longi- 
caudatus. Tom. cit. pp. 407-410. 
Mr. Brooks’s view as to the identity of these birds is confirmed. 
. The Laccadives and the West Coast. Tom. cit. pp. 413-483. 
The exploration of the Laccadive Islands by Mr. Hume has shown 
that ornithologically, and otherwise, their fauna and flora possess 
no peculiar characters. The results of the cruise are thus sum- 
marized ; — 
1. That the Laccadives are divided from the mainland of India by a 
deep trough, not less than 13,000 fathoms in depth, and possibly con- 
siderably more. 
2. That they have no distinctive fauna or flora. There are no mam- 
mals, except the common Indian Mus rufescens ; no land birds, except a 
very few of the commonest Indian species ; and no non-Indian plants, 
the flora consisting mostly of species common on the sea-coasts of India, 
and more or loss dilfusod over China, Java, and the Straits, extending 
in many places to the Malayan Archipelago, Australia, and the South 
Sea Islands, and in several to the tropics generally. 
The paper also contains an account of the expedition and of the birds 
met with, the part relating to the sea-birds being fuller in details.
