Birds of the Jhelum District. 43 



[Nos. 923, 977, and 996 are typical C. m. collaris ; 979 is 

 not to be distinguished from British-shot speoimenSj its 

 underparts being no paler, and there is no trace of any collar 

 round the neck. The January birds through wear are already 

 becoming brown on the exposed parts of the wing. — C. B. T.~\ 



Dendrocitta rufa. The Indian Tree-Pie. 



Common in the gardens of Chua Saidan Shah, when I was 

 there in June and July. It is probably a resident. A pair 

 seen on the Chakwal tonga-road on February 22nd, near 

 Dudhial, were the only ones met with outside the Salt Range. 



Parus atriceps. The Indian Grey Tit. 

 939. 1.12.13. Jhelum. <S ■ 



1363. 5.4.14. „ $ . Wing 71 mm. 



A common winter visitor, usually collecting in flocks. 

 The first individual was noted on October 11, and the 

 species became fairly general at once, and numerous by the 

 end of the month. The return migration probably started 

 about the beginning of March, but there were a fair number 

 of birds remaining until the end of the month : an odd bird 

 or two were seen as late as the 4th and 5th of April. 



[Iris dark brown ; feet lead-blue; bill black. — 6'. B. T.'\ 



Parus monticola. The Green-backed Tit. 



1305. 13.2.14. Jhelum. Wing 64 mm. 



Status not quite certain, but probably a winter visitor in 

 small numbers from the latter half of October until the end 

 of February. 



[Iris dark brown ; feet lead-blue ; bill bluish black, 

 lighter at the base. — C. B. T.'\ 



Anthoscopus coronatus. The Turkestan Penduline Tit. 



Although no specimen was obtained, I have no hesitation 

 in referring to this species a party of small birds seen in 

 the Rak on March 27, 1914, and recorded by me in the 

 Journal of the Bombay N. H. S. vol. xxiii. p. 153. 



Within Indian limits these Tits have previously been 

 recorded only from Kohat and Sind.
