A CATALOGUE 
OF THE 
BIRDS OF SIND, CUTCH, KA'TtllA'WA'R, NORTH 
GUJARAT, AND MOUNT ABOO, 
INCLUDING 
EVERY SPECIES KNOWN TO OCCUR IN THAT 
TRACT OF COUNTRY UP TO DATE, 
WITH 
REFERENCES SHOWING- WHERE EACH SPECIES IS DESCRIBED* 
and locality marking its distribution so far as 
IS KNOWN AT PRESENT IN THE TRACT OF COUNTRY 
TO WHICH THE CATALOGUE REFERS. 
By Capt. E. A. BUTLER, H. M.’s 83rd Regiment. 
If gentlemen interested in the subject of Ornithology will only take this list 
■wnth them out into the districts and forward notes from time to time to Mr 
Hume (Simla), or myself, of any species they may obtain in that part of the 
country not included in the catalogue or any species included in the list, but 
not hitherto recorded from the locality they may find it in, they will doubtless 
be able hereafter to supply many of the omissions of this necessarily imperfect 
list. 
IV*. B.— The shin of any bird roughly stripped off and dried, in the sunis sufficient to enable it to be identi¬ 
fied ; bv.t it should have a ticket attached to the leg mentioning “ Locality, Date, Collector’s name, 
A c ..” and, of coarse, if dressed with arsenical soap so much the better. 
* These references have been confined as much as possible to Jerdon’s Birds of 
India, Mr. Hume’s Raptures and Stray Feathers, works which all who take an interest 
in the subject should be in possession of. A new edition of Jerdon has just been 
published, price Rs. 30, unbound.
