266 Lieut. C. H. T. Whitehead on the 



Migrates through Kohat in the latter half of April in 

 small flocks, which feed chiefly on the mulberries that are 

 then ripening. Less wary than other members of the genus. 

 Appears to be scarce in the Kurram Valley, and probably 

 only passes through. I shot an example at 6500 feet in 

 Ilex-scrub on the 2ud of May. 



[1298.] Palumbus CASiOTis. The Eastern Wood-Pigeon. 



Marshall, J. B. N. H. S. xv. p. 352 (common on the hills 

 round Quetta) ; Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 943 (Kashmir). 



A resident species, collecting in large flocks in autumn in 

 the scrub-jungle above Marai, about Shinauri, and in the 

 wooded nullahs of the northern slopes of the Samana — these 

 being its favourite haunts, but odd birds occur all over the 

 District, Mr. Donald tells me that it nests freely near 

 the Tera Kotal above Shinauri and north of the Samana. 

 It occurs also in the Kurram Valley, and probably breeds 

 there, but may still be seen in flocks in May. 



[1305.] TuRTUR FERRAGO. The Indian Turtle-Dove. 



Fulton, J. B. N. H. S. xvi. p, GO (common in Lower 

 Chitral in summer) ; Rattray, t. c. p. 663 (common in the 

 Miirree Hills) ; Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 943 (common in 

 Kashmir). 



Small numbers migrate through Kohat from mid- April 

 till the 3rd or 4th of May, returning in September and 

 October. Mr. Donald has found it nesting on the Samana, 

 while I shot a specimen there as late as the 4th of November. 

 It is common in summer in the woods of the Safed Koh, 

 from 7000 feet to tree-limit. 



[1309.] TuRTUR CAMBAYENsis. The Little Brown Dove. 



Rattray, J. B. N. H. S. xii. p. 344 (Thall : common) ; 

 Marshall, op. cit. xv. p. 353 (resident at Quetta, largely 

 reiniorced in summer) ; Fulton, op. cit. xvi. p. 60 (Chitral : 

 probably common) ; Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 943 (Kashmir). 



A resident in the District and abundant at all seasons. 

 Common in the Kurram Valley in summer up to 6500 feet, 

 and occurring at least up to 8000 feet, at which height 

 Major Magrath shot an example.
