(694) Monticola saxatilis. — The Rock-Thrush. 

 Two specimens, both females, were obtained in September and October 

 at 7,000 feet. The former with an egg. 



(695) Tuedus viscivorus. — The Missel-Thrush. 

 Common in the valleys of Lower Chitral. In winter it descends to 

 6,000 feet and in summer is to be found up to 13,000 feet. 



A nest with 4 eggs was found at 12,000 feet on the 26th of April, and 

 the tree, nest, and bird were covered with snow. 



(709) Cinclus asiaticus.— The Brown Dipper. 

 Not uncommon in the wooded valleys of Lower Chitral, throughout the 

 year at 4,000 to 10,000 feet and upwards. 



Family Ploceidce. 

 (734) Uroloncha malabarica. — The White-throated Munia. 

 A summer visitor, arriving about the middle of May and only found 

 up to 4,000 feet in the valley. 



Although it is stated that this sub-family is not migratory (Fauna of 

 British India, Birds, Vol. II, page 181), this species certainly migrates 

 perhaps only locally. There were none in the valley during winter and 

 until the end of April, when large numbers arrived on the cultivated 

 ground below Drosh. 



Family Fringillidce. 

 (740) Coccothraustes humii. — Hume's Haw-Finch. 

 I only obtained two specimens of this species, both during the second 

 week of May at Drosh. I am uncertain whether it breeds in the country, 

 but am inclined to believe it does. 



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

 Only one specimen, a male, was obtained of t his species in Pattison 

 nallah at 9,000 feet (30th April). 



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

 This species arrives about the middle of April. All the specimens I 

 obtained during April, and I saw none in the summer, and am not certain 

 whether they breed in the country. They are very common during their 

 stay and frequent the cedar forests at elevations from 6,000 to 10,000 feet. 

 (761) Carpodacus erythrinus. — The Common Rose-Finch. 

 Common during July on the grazing grounds at the head of the 

 Turikho Valley at elevations from 10,000 to 15,000 feet, where it prob- 

 ably breeds, and in winter at 5,000 feet around Drosh.
