finches and began mobbing it^ and away it went uttering a 

 soft whistling note. Five days later, on visiting the same 

 spot, I was lucky enough to again find a Waxwing there. 

 It was in fine condition with four wax-like tips to the 

 secondaries of each wing. In addition to this example, 

 Major Magrath shot one, a male (extremely fat), in his 

 garden in Bannu, lat. 33° (apparently the furthest southern 

 record for this species), on the 20th of March. Colonel Ward 

 records another secured on the 8th of the same month at 

 7000 feet in Kashmir.
