It was initially reported to be present in Chamba, Kistawar and Dachigam National park. Its distribution in Kashmir Himalaya is poorly known. In Kashmir and adjoining regions, it is likely at risk of extinction due to land use change and conflict with humans. In this study, we aim to ascertain the current distribution in Kashmir region, and identify sites which face human-langur conflict. Using well-structured questionnaire and on-ground surveys we have attempted to determine the spatial distribution in the region. This study shows that Himalayan gray langur are distributed in the protected as a base-map for various coniferous forests of Kashmir, mountainous forest areas of management policies towards it becomes important to Kashmir.

In temperate regions, the breeding season coincides with the summer; while in tropical regions it is generally restricted to the onset of the rainy season (Valenti 1984) successful mating occurs between soft shelled females and hard shelled males.

E-mail: [email protected] [MB] Manuscript received on 15 November 2017. We dedicate this paper to Heinz Lainer, for his commitment to Goa’s Ornithology. Abstract An updated checklist of the birds of Goa, India, is presented below based upon a collation of supporting information from museum specimens, photographs, audio recordings of calls, and sight records with sufficient field notes. Goa has 473 species of birds of which 11 are endemic to the Western Ghats, 19 fall under various categories of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and 48 are listed in Schedule I Part (III) of The Indian Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. 451 species have been accepted into the checklist based on specimens in various museums or on photographs, while 22 have been accepted based on sight record. A secondary list of unconfirmed records is also discussed in detail. Introduction that is about 125 km long. The southern portion of these ghats, Goa, India’s smallest state, sandwiched between the Arabian within Goa, juts out towards the Arabian Sea, at Cabo de Rama, Sea in the west and the Western Ghats in the east, is home to and then curves inland.

Version 3.4 Mar 2017 For taxa that have unproven and probably unlikely presence, see the Hypothetical List. Red font indicates either added information since the previous version or that further documentation is sought. Not all synonyms have been examined. Serial numbers (SN) are merely an administrative conveninence and may change. Please do not cite them as row numbers in any formal correspondence or papers. Key: Compass cardinals (eg N = north, SE = southeast) are used. Rows shaded thus and with yellow text denote summaries of problem taxon groups in which some closely-related taxa may be of indeterminate status or are being studied. Rows shaded thus and with white text contain additional explanatory information on problem taxon groups as and when necessary. A broad dark orange line, as below, indicates the last taxon in a new or suggested species split, or where sspp are best considered separately. The Passerine Reference List (including References for Hypothetical passerines [see Part E] and explanations of Abbreviated References) follows at Part D. Notes↓ & Status abbreviations→ BM=Breeding Migrant, SB/SV=Summer Breeder/Visitor, PM=Passage Migrant, WV=Winter Visitor, RB=Resident Breeder 1. PT=Parent Taxon (used because many records will antedate splits, especially from recent research) – we use the concept of PT with a degree of latitude, roughly equivalent to the formal term sensu lato , ‘in the broad sense’. 2. The term 'report' or ‘reported’ indicates the occurrence is unconfirmed.
