Birds of the Jhelum District. 77 



and September-October, usually met with in small parties. 

 It may be of interest to note here that in September, when 

 I went to Hazara, north-west Himalayas, for ten days' 

 leave, I met with similar migrating parties there as high 

 as 10,000 feet at tiie same time as the species was passing 

 through the Jhelum district.
