Summary

[edit]
Description

1 am indebted for the following note to the kindness of my friend Captain R. C.
Besvan : —
"I have frequently observed this fine Kingfisher in the valley of the Great Rungeet
River near Dargeeling, and procured a specimen there in 1862. It also occurs on the
Rum Ram and Rungeet rivers, but is nowhere common; it also extends down the Teesta
aa far as Julpigoorie where I am nearly sure I recollect seeing it in 1859."
The description, measurements and figure are taken from a beautifully preserved skin
procurred in Kynee Tal, and given to me by my friend Captain C. H. T. Marshall. On
this specimen I observe a slight tinge of tawny on the sides of the neck, while another skin

in my collection has the whole of the under- parts distinctly washed with this colour.
Date 1868-71.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
