Mr. E. Blytli on the Birds of India. 
H. albicilla, Vigors & Horsfield. H. ossifragus, Raffles (?). II. 
albipes et H. lanceolatus, Hodgson. H. unicolor , Gray. 
Hab. Northern India generally: abundant in Lower Bengal. 
Common in Kashmir and along the Indus; Indo-Chinese and 
Malay countries (?). 
Genus Haliastur, Selby. 
74. H. indus. (PI. Enl. 416.) 
Syn. Falco indus , Boddaert. F. ponticerianus, Gmelin. Ha- 
liaetus garruda , Lesson. Milvus rotundicaudatus, Hodgson 
(the young). 
Hab. India, with Ceylon; Indo-Chinese and Malayan countries; 
extremely common : replaced by an allied species in Australia, 
which extends to New Guinea, Batchian, Amboyna, and Ternate 
(P. Z. S. 1860, p. 342; Journ. Proc. Linn. Soc. ii. p. 154). 
Genus Milvus, Cuvier. 
75. M. govinda, Sykes. 
Syn. M. cheela, Jerdon. Haliaetus lineatus, Gray (the young). 
Hab. S.E. Asia and its islands; extremely common. In Lower 
Bengal it disappears during the rains, with the exception of an 
occasional straggler. It abounds in the lower ranges of the 
Himalaya [vide Adams in P. Z. S. 1858, p. 471).* 
Fam. VULTURIDiE. 
Subfam. VulturinjE. 
Genus Vultur, L. (as restricted). 
76. V. monachus, L. (Edwards, B. pi. 290; PI. Col. 426; 
Gould's B. E. pi. 2.) 
Syn. V. cinereus et V. cristatus , Gmelin. V. arrianus , Lapeyr. 
sterna of H.fulviventer from India and of H. leucoryphus(l) from the Crimea, 
found a considerable difference between them (Ibis, 1861, p. 223). 
* The M. melanotis, Temminck, from China and Japan, appears to me 
to be a distinct race, however nearly akin. The beak is somewhat larger; 
and the back is spotted in the adult, which is never the case with M. go¬ 
vinda.
