Very rare. I observed single birds at Dhand on the 18th 

 of November, 1906. and the 21st o£ February, 1907, but 

 could rot get a shot ; it is, however, an unmistakable species. 

 Capt. MacNab, I.M.S., shot one at Mardan (thirty miles north 

 of our limits) on the 12th of November, 1899 [vide J. B. N. 

 H. S. xiii. p. 182).
