121. Anthus rufctlus (Vieill.). 



A summer visitor. I got it at Kandaliar in June, and Col. 

 Swiuhoe on tlie Visliin road at the end of April, 



1.22. Anthus camtestkis (Linn.), 

 Common in winter. 



123. Anthus sordidus (Riipp.), 



A summer visitor. I obtained it at Kandahar in June, and 

 Dr. Duke near Kelat in May and June. 



124. Anthus spinoletta (Linn.) . 



Two specimens of a Pipit from Quetta were identified by 

 ]Mr. Blanford as J. spinoletta. 



125. Anthus blakistoni, Swinh. 

 Very common during the winter. 



126. Pahus cinereus, Vieill. 



Very common in gardens and on the hills wherever there 

 are trees. 



127. PaRUS BOKHARENSIS. 



A specimen from the Khojak taken to England was iden- 

 tified as P. bokharensis by Mr. Seebohm, who remarked that 

 he has no doubt that it interbreeds with P, cinereus. 



128. Accentor atrogularis, Brandt. 



A single specimen procured at Quetta by Dr. Duke in 

 November. 



129. CoRVus coRAX, Linn. 



Until I had obtained a large series of Havens of all sizes, 

 I was under the impression that Mr. Hume's C. laivrencii 

 was a good species, bu.t when I found them with wings vary- 

 ing from 16 to 18f inches, my faith was shaken. I took 

 four specimens to England, where Mr. Seebohm examined 

 them. All were males, and the length of wing was in two 

 specimens 17^, in one 18^, and in the fourth 18f . At one 

 time I thought it probable that the larger birds were winter 

 visitors from colder climates ; but this is disproved by the 

 fact of the first three of the four specimens above noted 

 having been killed in July and August.
