118. Alsocomus hodgsoni (Vig.). 



Noticed once or twice in the hill-forests between Gund 

 and Gaugadgir in May and June. We did not succeed in 

 finding a nest. 



119. COLUMBA INTERMEDIA Strickl. 



We saw a few specimens of this Pigeon in the Jhelum 

 Valley between Kohala and Garhi. We did not notice any 

 in the valley itself or further north. 



120. CoLUMBA LEUCONOTA Vig. 



This beautiful Pigeon was very common in the beginning 

 of May on the Sonamurg plateau, and occasionally among 

 the cultivation along the Sind Eiver as far down as Kulan. 

 It was then in small flocks. During June we saw it occa- 

 sionally at Sonamurg, singly or in very small flocks. It 

 seemed generally to fly to and from a ridge of rocks not far 

 from the nullah joining the Sind River, close to the village 

 of Sonamurg. We intended to visit these rocks, but never 

 were able to find time. 



121. TuRTUR FERRAGo (Eversm.) . 



A very common bird along the whole Sind Valley. It 

 seems a late breeder, as, though we observed one nest with 

 young early in May, we found no others till the end of June, 

 when we discovered several with fresh eggs. They were in 

 various positions in low thick undergrowth, on the branches 

 of fir-trees, and on garden-trees near villages. 



122. TuRTUR DouRACA Hodgs. 



In the early part of May we noticed some of these Doves 

 as far up the Sind Valley as Sonamurg, and saw a single 

 bird there on the 15th June; the species w^as, however, very 

 common about Srinugger, and along the Jhelum south of 

 Baramula, in June, while we took eggs at Srinugger in that 

 month. 



123. LOPHOPHORUS IMPEYANUS (Lath.). 



A few of this species were found on the south side of the 

 Sind River, at Gangadgir.
