G6 Mr. Hugh Whistler on the 



Tharrhaleus atrigularis. The Black-throated Accentor. 

 Noted as common in flocks in December at Sardi by 

 Captain C. H. T. Whitehead. 



Uroloncha malabarica. The White-throated Munia. 



A resident and most common in the Salt Range and the 

 Pabbi tract ; at Jhelum itself it is but seldom seen. Theobald 

 (Nests & Eggs, ii. p. 136) gives the breeding-season in this 

 district as May, August, September, October, and December. 



Propasser grandis. The Red-mantled Rose-Finch. 

 Captain Whitehead shot a female of this species in 

 December between Sardi and Lilla. 



Carpodacus erythrinus. The Common Rose-Finch. 



A common spring migrant, passing through from the second 

 half of March until the second week of May. Not noted 

 on the autumn migration. This species is very fond of 

 mulberry fruit, and was often seen in the thickest parts of 

 the Kak, frequenting the mulberry saplings which there 

 form the undergrowth. The song is pleasing and freely 

 uttered. 



Acanthis fringillirostris. The Eastern Linnet. 



1326.2.3.1914. Dumman. S- Wing 84 mm. 



1327,1328. 3.3.1914. Dumman. S,S- Wing 84 & 



84 mm. 



A common winter visitor, probably from November until 

 well into March. Captain Whitehead noted it at Sardi in 

 December, so it probably occurs over the whole Salt Range, 

 but it does not appear to visit the riverain area. I had 

 many opportunities of observing them at Dumman in March, 

 where they were common enough in small flocks or in 

 parties of two or three individuals. These would often be 

 noted flying overhead, attention being called by their 

 twittering note, or settling at the tops of Shisham and 

 Kikur trees. In the early mornings the males were singing 

 freely at the tops of trees round the rest-house.
