eye,, and a faint circle of white round the eye. I procured 

 this Flycatcher also from Darel. 



58. CyoRNis RUFicAUDAj Swainson. 



This Flycatcher extends into the Darcl valley, whence my 

 collector brought me several specimens. 



59. Troglodytes neglectus. Brooks. 



Birds killed at the same time of year are scarcely distin- 

 guishable from T. nipalensis, Hodgs. ; but T. neglectus is a 

 little smaller and paler underneath. The freshly moulted 

 autumn birds and those killed in summer are more distinct, 

 and paler than T. nipalensis in every way ; but in the winter 

 they are hardly distinguishable. 



62. HydrobaTxV cashmirensis, Gould. 



I procured an adult specimen of this Dipper from the 

 Deosai plain, but did not meet with it in Gilgit. Dr. Scully's 

 specimen was procured in a valley between Gilgit and Darel, 

 where its occurrence is somewhat remarkable, as I received 

 from Darel, which is still further to the south, an adult male 

 of/f. leucog aster in fine plumage — the first instance, I believe, 

 of its occurrence on the Indian side of the Himalayas. Dr. 

 Scully^s specimen is undoubtedly H. cashmirensis, 



64. Orcecetes cinchlorhynchus (Vigors). 



I shot a young male of the year in Gilgit in August 1880, 

 and later observed two adult males. The species appears to 

 be common in the Darel valley," whence my man brought me 

 back several specimens. Young males of the year are easily 

 distinguishable from the females by the white wing-bar, 

 which appeai^s to be assumed in the earliest stage of plumage 

 and before any trace of blue is apparent. 



66. TuRDUS HYEMALis, Dybowski. 



The specimen which, in my former paper, I classed as T. 

 ruficollis (Ibis, 1881, p. 53), I have compared with a large 

 number of specimens in the British Museum and other col- 

 lections ; and I find that it cannot stand under that name. 

 It is a fully adult male, shot in January. The markings are 

 essentially the same as those of T. ruficollis and T. atrogularis,
