450 Mr. J. Scully on the 



105. Regulus cristatus (Koch). 



A summer visitor, only found in the forests at high eleva- 

 tions, and apparently not common. A male with wing 2" 15 

 inches, bill at front 0'S7, has two distinct whitish wing-bars. 



, Sylvia jerdoni, Blyth. 



This Eastern long-hilled race of Sylvia orphea appears to 

 have been accidentally omitted from Major Biddulph's list, 

 as he had obtained a specimen in Gilgit before his paper was 

 written. It only passes through Gilgit on migration, in May 

 and June, and again early in September. 



106. Sylvia affinis, Blyth. 



I have only three specimens, obtained in April, May, and 

 September, which can be referred to this form. The wings 

 measure 2'6 to 2'63, and the second primary is intermediate 

 between the sixth and seventh. The September specimen 

 has the upper parts more brown than the other two, and this 

 is probably due to its having freshly moulted. 



107. Sylvia altera, Hume. 



A summer visitor, and common from the 25th April to the 

 end of September ; it breeds at an elevation of about 9000 

 feet. In males the wings vary from 2" 73 to 2"83, in a female 

 the wing measures 2*7. There can be no doubt about the 

 identification, as my skins have been compared with a typical 

 specimen in Mr. Seebohm^s charge. 



108. Sylvia RUFA (Bodd.). 



So far only obtained during the autumn migration. Two 

 specimens measured — wing 2'8 inches, tail 2"6 and 2'7, tarsus 

 0-85 and 0-86. 



109. Henicurus scouleri. Vigors. 



A permanent resident, at elevations of 5000 to 7000 feet. 

 It is nearly confined to the small streams, but is occasionally 

 found in winter on the banks of the larger rivers, and has for 

 associates RuticiUa leucocephala and Cinclus asiaticus. I 

 cannot detect any difference between Gilgit examples of 

 H. scouleri and a specimen from Moupin in Eastern Thibet.
