2 * Otooyps cai.vus. Not common. 
5. Gyps Bengaiensis. Very common. 
I examined several nests in the second half of December and in January ; 
all contained only one egg. On the 11th January at Kunria, one nest had 
a nestling which must have been a week old. 
6. Neophron Gin otni anus. Very common. 
8. Falco peregiun us. Not common. 
10. F. juggeb. Very common. 
During January, I have generally seen them in pairs, and on the 10th 
Feb., near the village Tappur in Eastern Kachh, a pair had a nearly finished 
nest on a large Kundu, near the edge of a tank. The bird is a great 
favourite with native Falconers. 
12. F. Baisylontcus. 
Comp. Jerdon in Ibis for 1871, p. 240. 
Only a single male specimen was seen and shot near Kantkote in Wag- 
gur district, on 12th January. 
16. Hypotbioechis (Turamtia) cmcQUEEA.t Very common. 
17. Tinuncuecs alaudaiuus. Common. 
23. Micron isus badhjs. Common. 
I shot one male and two females in December and J anuary, all had the 
iris bright yellow. Af.— wing 7 5, tail 6, tarsus 1'8. F. — wing 8'6— 8’9, 
tail 7 '2 — 7’4, tarsus 2 inch. 
24. Accipiteb nisus. Not common. 
25. A. (IIieeaspiza) virga'tus. Not common. 
29. Aquila bifasciata, Gray and Hardw. Not common. 
Comp. Bi’ooks in Proo. Asiab. S oc. Bong., April, 1872, p. 65. 
Jerdon says that bifasciata, Gray, is the same as vittala of Hodgson. 
29. A. FUEVEHCKNs. Very common. 
45. Buteo ff.rox. Very common. 
I have seen hundreds of these birds, all were of the B. cannescens type, 
but not one of the uniform coloured type, called fuliginosus by Hume. The 
latter I got from Kotegurli near Simla. (Comp. Jerdon in Ibis, 1871, 
p. 338). 
48. Polioeuts TEESA. Common. 
51. Circus pallid us, Sykes = Swainsont, Smith. Very common. 
Gray (Handlist, I, 37) gives Sykes’s name the priority. 
55. HALIASTtTE INDUS. 
Only seen near the sea shore. 
* The numbers prefixed to the names correspond with those in Jordon's ‘ Birds of 
India,’ or their nearest allies. 
t I would decidedly prefer adopting the subgeneric name Tummtia for that of 
Chiquem, than altering the latter well known specific denomination to ‘ typus.’
