A winter visitor in small numbers ; noticed on various 

 dates between November 16 and February 27. Met with 

 either singly or in couples hunting in trees for insects after 

 the manner of Willow- Warblers. 



[Iris dark-brown; feet lead-brown; bill dark brown,

Prinia lepida. The Streaked Wren- Warbler. 



Found breeding in April and May in small numbers on 

 the river islands above Jhelum, but the ground there is

 commonly in the district, it will be in the river-bed about 

 Piud Dadan Khan, a tract which I had not an opportunity 

 of examining.
