[Iris dark brown; feet bright vermilion, claws black; bill 

 orange-red, yellowish at tip. 



Adult just commenced to moult. — C. B. 7".] 



Pelecamis sp. ? Pelican. 



Pelicans were seen on the river as follows : — April 28, 

 one; June 19, one; July 5, one; July 18, two. In 

 no case was a specimen killed, &o the species represented 

 remains uncertain. 



Phalacrocorax carbo. The Large Cormorant. 



Would appear to be a passage migrant only. In January 

 several were seen on various dates from the 4th to the 25th, 

 a big flight of about 30 being met with on January 12. 

 On the autumnal migration several birds were noted from 

 October 10 until November 3. 



Ibis melanocephala. The White Ibis. 



A flight of White Ibises were seen on June 19, and two 

 birds were seen with a party of Pseudotantalus leucocephalus 

 on a sand-bank on the river on June 24. Not known to 

 breed in the district. 



Inocotis papillosus. The Black Ibis. 

 882. 2.10.1913. Jhelum. Imm. 



Not uncommon, and met with throughout the year, but I 

 do not believe that the species nests in the district. 



Platalea leucorodia. The Spoonbill. 



Probably a summer visitor only, from the end oi: May 

 until August, and breeding doubtless somewhere in the 

 neighbourhood of the river. Not very often seen, but as 

 many as 20 birds were met with in one flock. No nests 

 found. 



Ciconia alba. The White Stork. 



A party of three White Storks was seen by the Chakwal 

 tonga-road on December 8, and one was seen flying high 

 overhead at Jhelum on April 9.
