Dave (1985: 130) says that, apart from the pied crested cuckoo, four more cuckoos are called cātaka: the common and the large hawk cuckoo, the plaintive cuckoo, and the banded bay cuckoo. See on *Cuculus varius varius* Vahl, the common hawk-cuckoo: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 3, 200–202, on *C. sparverioides sparverioides* Vigors, the large hawk-cuckoo: the same, 3, 198–200, on *Cacomantis passerinus* (Vahl), the plaintive cuckoo: the same, 3, 218–220, on *Cacomantis sonneratii sonneratii* (Latham), the Indian baybanded cuckoo: the same, 3, 215–217.
