 India. I observed this bird also in the month of May at 

 Quetta, in the garden of the Superintendent of Telegraphs, 

 and also on two occasions in the Bolan. Col. St. John told 

 me it was to be found about Kandahar ; but I did not get 

 any specimens while there. It is probably a summer visitor, 

 as it is said to be in Gilgit.
