ADDENDA.

Page 125, line 9, to Sherganj add the following note:

Cissa Sinensis, Brisson. Cissa Venatoria, Blyth—the green jay. It is found in the South Eastern Himalayas and in the hill ranges of Assam, Sylhet, Arakan and Tenasserim. These birds wander about from tree to tree and pick grasshoppers, mantides and other insects, are frequently tamed and caged and are amusing and imitative. They sing lustily a loud screeching strain and are highly carnivorous. The shrike-like habit, in confinement, of placing a bit of food between the bars of their cage is in no species more exemplified than in this—Jerdon, II, 312.

Page 56, line 6, to ḳudán add following note:

The text has ‘kụdán,’ with a variant ‘kullán.’—I accepted the former without investigation at the time, but the true reading is Faddán (<Arabic>) which means a certain measure of land, subdivided into 24 ḳíráṭ—loosely reckoned as the quantity which a yoke of oxen will plough in one day and commonly defined as consisting of 333¼ ḳuṣabehs, the latter being 24 ḳabḍah, and the ḳabḍah being the measure of a man's fist with the thumb erect, or about 6¼ inches.
