584. Henicurus maculatus. '^Naraisi." 



The Spotted Forktail is common about every stream in 

 Chamba. In April it commences breeding, and does not 

 seem particular as to the elevation at which it builds. I 

 have found a nest in the root of a fallen devdat tree near 

 where snow was lying in a ravine, about 7000 feet up, and 

 several pairs remain all the summer in their winter-quarters 

 between 2000 and 3000 feet up. 



587. Henicurus scouleri. 



The Little Forktail is fairly common in the winter. It 

 builds under rocks by streams in the interior over 7000 feet 

 elevation. 



589. MOTACILLA maderaspatana. 



590. MOTACILLA personata. 



591. MOTACILLA alba. 



592. MOTACILLA melanope. 

 594. BUDYTES CALCARATUS. 



The Grey Wagtails generally arrive in February. Early 

 in March numbers may be seen on the green in front of the 

 town, but by the end of the month there is scarcely one left. 

 The Yellow Wagtails arrive later and stay a very short time. 

 In August I saw a number of M. alba and M. melanope on a 

 stony plain just by the top ol the Sanch Pass, 14,500 feet. 



596. Anthus agilis. 



597. Anthus trivialis. 

 600. corydalla rufula. 



604. Agrodroma sordida. 



605. Anthus cervinus. 



605 quat. Anthus blakistoni. 



606. Heterura sylvana. 



623. ixulus flavicollis. 



There is no previous record, I believe, of an Ixulus being 

 found so far north-west. There were several in my Chamba 

 garden in April 1882, but they only stayed a ^QVf days.
