Resident and very numerous in the Salt Range and the 

 high plateau of the Chakwal tahsil ; it is probably double- 

 brooded, as nests may be found from April until June.

Crateropus canorus. The Jungle Babbler.

An abundant resident, but somewhat locally distributed ; 

 it is common in the Rak and in the gardens of Chua Saidau 

 Shah, but is not met with in that portion of the district 

 which lies north of the Salt Range, nor does it occur in 

 Rawal Pindi district ; the northern crest of the Salt Range

 of India. It nests very commonly in the Rak throughout 

 June, but I found a nest containing a single egg on March 

 27, and a nest with four eggs on April 8.

Exact status uncertain : it nests commonly enough about 

 June in the Rak and the gardens of the Salt Range, and is 

 fairly common during the winter throughout the district. 

 But having regard to the fact that in the Punjab, N.W\ 

 Frontier Province, and N.W. Himalayas generally, the 

 White'Cye is migratory, I do not feel sure that the winter
