OBSERVATIONS ON CHRONOMETRIC APTITUDE OF A FEW BIRDS IN SIKKIM

摘要

The chronometric aptitude of organisms have been known for a long time and scientific observations in this respect have been meticulous. However, few species-based studies have been conducted. This study was more or less a casual observation as it was done more to authenticate an anthropological belief of the Lepchas. It would be interesting, for example, to find out the compulsions of a few species of birds for showing a better and/or more accurate sense of chronometer.
