100 Mr. Hugli Whistler on the 



Porzana pusilla. The Eastern Baillon's Crake. 



Two Crakes only were met with by me in the district, 

 and both were apparently of this species on migration ; 

 one w^as flushed on May 10 by the Rak, and the other on 

 September 2 on the golf-course. 



Gallinula chloropus. The Moorhen. 



Noted as numerous on a tank at Sohawa on April 8. 



Fulica atra. The Coot. 



Two seen, both on the river close above Jhelum, on 

 October 4 and January 19 respectively. 



Both the Waterhen and the Coot are probably found on 

 the jheel at Kallarkahar — a place that I have not been able 

 to visit. 



Grus communis. The Common Crane. 

 A winter visitor from October until April, and of course 

 most numerous in the riverain area below Jhelum. 



Houbara macqueeni. The Houbara Bustard. 



A winter visitor from November until February, according 

 to the district gazetteer. I saw two only, namely, one in the 

 fields amongst rocky ravines near Sangoi on November 30, 

 and one near Chakwal on November 23 ; but I believe that 

 they are fairly numerous in the direction of Find Dad an 

 Khan. 



Esacus recurvirostris. The Great Stone-Plover. 



894. 10.10.1913. Jhelum. ? . 



A summer visitor to the sand-banks of the river, where it 

 breeds, from the end of March (first noted on the 27th) 

 until the middle of October. I found two eggs on a sand- 

 bank island on April 10, 1914, within a few yards of where 

 I had found two young in down on April 30, 1913. 



Cursorius gallicus. The Cream-coloured Courser.
