Birds of the Jhelum District. 59 



Acridotheres ginginianus. The Bank Mynah. 



751.6.6.1913. Jhelum. S- Wiug 128 mm. 



Exact status uncertain : small numbers occurred on the 

 golf-course and joined the evening flight to the Rak from 

 the end of May until the latter half of July. Also a few- 

 birds were met with in various places in August, September, 

 November, February, and March, 



Hume states that the species nests on the Jhelum river, 

 but does not state in what district.

 825. 18.8.1913. „ S. „ 127 mm. 



891. 8.10.1913. „ Imm. 

 A common winter visitor from about the middle of August 

 until the end of April, but I have only noted it in the im- 

 mediate neighbourhood of Jhelum. Their numbers appear 

 to be greatly augmented by migrants in March and April, 

 when they collect in large parties. 



[Adult. Iris bright yellow ; feet duller, claws black; bill 

 orange-yellow, base of lower mandible blackish. 



Juvenile. Iris yellow tinged with green ; feet dirty yellow; 

 bill yellow, tinged with red on lower mandible. 



The adult has just commenced a complete moult ; the 

 juvenile plumage differs in having the ujjper parts brown 

 edged with lighter brown, throat and chin dusky white, and 

 the lower throat and breast lacks most of the slate-grey 

 wash.— C. B. r.] 



Muscicapa grisola. The Spotted Flycatcher. 



855.10.9.1913. Sardi, Salt Range. ^. Wing 90 mm. 



This specimen was the only one met with ; it was ob- 

 served in a small tree in the compound of the resthouse of 

 Sardi, and was, of course, on migration. 



[This belongs to the paler eastern ioxva M.y.naumanni. — ■
