 dull yellow ; feet lead-grey. 



733 is in full juvenile plumage, in which the whole of the 

 upper parts are grey washed with buff, and all the coverts 

 and inner tertials are tipped with buff. 947 is almost out 

 of juvenile plumage by complete body-moult, which includes 

 the moult of inner tertials. — C. B. T.] 



Lanius vittatus. The Bay-backed Shrike. 



846. 5.9.1913. Jhelum. Imm. Wing 79 mm. 



A resident in small numbers, largely reinforced during 

 the summer months by breeding immigrants ; these arrive 

 in March, breed in April, May, and June, and start to 

 depart in August, and have all gone again by the end of 

 September. 



[A juvenile just commencing to moult; it has the upper 

 parts greyish-brown barred with dark brown, tail rufous- 

 brown, ear-coverts dark brown, underparts cream-white, 

 wings brown. — C. iJ. T.] 



Lanius erythronotus. The Rufous-backed Shrike. 



925.27.9.1913. Jhelum. ?. Wing 91-5 mm.; tail 



115 mm. 



I noted only a few of these Shrikes on various dates from 

 March until May and in October and November, which 

 would suggest that they are passage migrants only. But, 

 from my previous knowledge of the species in other dis- 

 tricts, I am inclined to think that this is not a correct 

 description of their status. In Hume's ' Nests and Eggs ' 

 (2nd ed, vol. i. p. 320) there is a note of Theobald's that it 

 nests in May in the Salt Range. Its exact status in the 

 district must be considered in need of verification.
