(754) Propasser thura — (The White-browed Rose-Finch.) 



Not observed by me. Fulton records obtaining one cock on 30th April in 

 Pattison nallah at 9,000 feet, 



(755) Propasser pulcherrimus — (The Beautiful Rose-Finch.) 



Not observed by me. Fulton records them common during April in the 

 cedar forests between 6 000 and 10,000 feet, hot seen in summer. 

 (757'> Propasser grandis—(TQE Red-mantled Rose-Finch.) 

 A few were mst with in January and April about 4,500 feet on the waste 

 stretches. Fulton records them as fairly common on the wooded ridges from 

 7,000 to 9,000 feet in late April and early May. 



(761) Carpodacus erythr'mus — (The Common Rose-Finch.) 



Very common in large 6ocks at about 4,500 feet at end of April and 

 beginning of May. Seen up the Mastuj Valley in mid-May. Fulton records 

 them common at the head of the Turikho Valley from 15,000 to 16,000 feet 

 probably breeding there, and common in winter round Drosh. 



(762) Carpodacus severtzovi — (Severtzoi-f*s Rose-Finch.) 



Not met with by me. Fulton records a good many at Gharagar at 13,000 

 feet just below the snow-line on 10th July. 

 "'- (763) Erijthrospha oithaginea—(THE Desert-Finch.) 

 One specimen obtained. Not so common as the next species. 

 (764) Eri/throspiza mongolica — (The Mongolian Desert-Finch.) 

 There were large flocks present in the main valley near Ghairat and 

 further in March, April, and May. A few were seen in November. These 

 flocks contained smaller flocks of two somewhat similar birds, diifering a bit in 

 habits. One species, mongolica, was far commoner than the other githayinea- 

 Fulton records getting a pair at the head of the Turikho Valley at 10,000 feet 

 on 9th July. 



(764a) Rhodopechys sanguinea. 



Not seen by me. Fulton saw two (of which he got one) at Roah in the 

 Turikho Valley at 10,000 feet which constitutes the first record within Indian 

 limits. 



(764b) Rhodospiza ohsoleta. 



No skin. A few were several times seen in November just above the junc- 

 tion of the Shishikho with the main river. They used to be procurable alive 

 most winters in Pindi or Lahore under the name of "Kabul Gulabi," but 

 I have heard of none for the last few years. I believe they have since been 

 recorded from Quetta, so my omission to procure a skin is not of much 

 consequence. 



(767) Carduelis caniceps— (The Himalayan Gold-Finch.) 

 Fairly common in small flocks at about A.500 feet in the winter from 

 November to March, collecting in large flocks in April previous to going further 

 up the hill. Seen in large flocks at Buni in mid-May. Fulton records them as 

 common in summer at about 12,000 feet, breeding in Julyi
