in the Zool. Record for 1869, demurring to my identification of Bar- 
bus Beavani, Giinther, with Cyprinus chagunio, Ham. Buch., observes 
this fish has “ large scales and minute barbels.” In the figure there 
are about 41 scales along the lateral line and well developed ros- 
tral and maxillary barbels. The species may be readily recognised 
from the drawing. 48 is Polynemus Indicus, 11$ inches long. ‘This 
volume iv contains 50 coloured illustrations of fish. ? 
[I would suggest that the numbers I have inserted on the draw- 
ings in pencil be recorded in ink, and that the original figures have 
the Society’s stamp on each separate sheet].

9. Nores on THE OrniITHOLOGY oF CasHMIr,— 
by W. EK. Brooxs, Esa., C. E., Htawah, 
Mr. Brooks notices several imperfectly known or new species of 
birds from Cashmir. His observations on the breeding season, 
&es, of many of the species are particularly interesting. 
‘The new species noticed in this paper are as follows: 
Certhia Hodgsoni,—differs from C. familiaris by a much larger bill§ 
less rufous tone on rump and upper tail coverts, and by having 4 
plain primaries and the 5th marked with a buif patch on the outer 
web. 
Sitta Cashmirensis.* Coloration very like that of S. HZimalayana, 
but the wing is 3:3 inches; no white edgings to the under tail 
coverts. 
* This is very close to 8. cesia of Europe; the two being exactly of the same 
size, HEpir.
