These are supplementary to the first paper of the series 
noticed (Zool. Rec. ii. p. 72, iv. p. 62, v. p. 48), and are of the 
same character. Upwards of 60 species are noticed. 
Blanford, W. T. Ornithological Notes, chiefly on some birds 
of Central, Western, and Southern India. Proc. Asiat. 
Soc. Bengal, 1869, pp. 104, 105 (abstract) ; Journ. Asiat. 
Soc. Bengal, xxxviii. (1869) pp. 164-191, pi. xvii. a. 
These notes relate to three collections, the first made in Nag- 
poor, Chanda, and on the Upper Godavery, the second at and 
near Khandalla on the Western Ghauts, and the third in the 
Neilgherry Hills. Of the first the chief points were mentioned in 
a paper previously noticed by us (Zool. Rec. iv. p. 62) ; but all 
respecting the other two seems to be new. The observations 
relating to the relative distribution of some of the migrating 
birds are especially worthy of notice. One new species (men- 
tioned under Timaliidce) is described. [C/. Ibis, 1870.]

Gould, J. The Birds of Asia. Part xxi. London: 1869. 
A bare majority of the species figured probably belongs to the

lity, another pertains to the Australian, and the rest to the 
Palaearctic Region. [^Cf. Ibis, 1870, pp. 118, 119.]
