100 Major J. Biddulph on the Birds of Gilgit. 



Duck to be seen during the winter. It remains till nearly 

 the end of April. 



235. Chaulelasmus streperus (Linn.). 



Since my leaving Gilgit, Dr. Scully writes that he has 

 secured a specimen of the Gadwal. 



236. Dafila acuta (Linn.) . 



The Pintail is seen at intervals during the winter, but is 

 never common. It remains much later than Anas boscas. 

 I have seen it as late as the middle of April. 



237. Mareca PENELOPE (Linn.). 



A single specimen of the Wigeon has been procured by 

 Dr. Scully since I left Gilgit. 



238. Querquedula CREccA (Linn.). 



To be seen at intervals all through the winter, from the 

 middle of September to the middle of April, but is never 

 very common or in parties of more than eight or ten, 

 generally less. 



239. Querquedula circia (Linn.). 



Seen occasionally, but is never very common. I shot a 

 pair in the middle of September, and one in the end of March. 



One shot 2nd September, and a flight seen flying from 

 the north at the same time. I rather think this Teal only 

 appears very early and very late but does not remain all 

 through the winter. 



240. Branta rufina (Pall.). 



I believe I identified, two of this species among a flock of 

 Ducks in March, but was not able to shoot a specimen. 



241. FULIGULA NYROCA (GUld.) . 



On one occasion in March I saw some of the White-eyed 

 Duck among a flock of Teal ; and Dr. Scully has since written 

 to me that he has secured a specimen. 



242. FuLiGULA cRisTATA (Linn.). 



Dr. Scully writes that he has procured a specimen since I 

 left Gilgit.
