69G. ? ad. Lachi, 1540 ft., 17th March. 



A M'inter visitor in small numbers, largely reinforced in 

 February and March. I have searched for it in May in the 

 plains without success, but, on the other hand, I shot an 

 example at Dandar (4700 ft.) in the Kurram Valley on the 

 20th of April. The wing and wing-muscles, however, are so 

 feeble that it can scarcely go very far away to breed. Has 

 a pleasing song which is often uttered, even in winter. 



[381.] CiSTicoLA cuRSiTANS. The Rufous Fantail- 

 Warbler.

Abundant in summer wherever there is cultivation. The 

 majority leave in autumn, but a few stay through the winter, 

 and are then more often found in and around reed-beds 

 than elsewhere. In the Kurram ^^alley we observed it as 

 higii as Paraehiuar (5700 ft,).

 Wren- Warbler.
