372 Lieut. W. W. Cordeaux on Birds 



every night in the park. I have seen them as far east as 



Sialkote. 



19. NUCIFRAGA HEMISPILA. 



I saw several Nutcrackers in the Wurdwan Valley and 

 shot one, a female^ at Bosnian, in the Wurdwan. This time I 

 did not observe N. muUipunctata, though in 1888 I got an 

 example, now in the Cambridge Museum, from the Nowboog 

 Valley. 



20. Pyrriiocorax alpinus. 



Common from 7000 to 14,000 feet. Occurs in small flocks 

 at Sokniss ; two pairs were always round my camp on the 

 look-out for scraps, which they shared with a Bearded 

 Vulture. 



21. Lophophanes melanolophus. 



Very common, frequenting the pine- woods in large flocks. 



22. Cercomela melanura (?). 



When out after bear in the Wurdwan I noticed a bird 

 which corresponded exactly with Jerdon^s description of 

 Sir A. Burners specimen. Unfortunately I had only a rifle 

 with me, so could not procure it. 



23. Emberiza CIA. 



Very common up to 11,000 feet. 



24. Carpodacus erythrinus. 



Very common up to 13,000 feet. I found nest with young 

 in July made of grass, and lined with hair, cup-shaped. 



25. Carduelis caniceps. 



Common in the Wurdwan and Kashmir, extending to 

 Suru. In August they collect in large flocks to feed on 

 the thistles. There was a flock of about twenty close 

 to my camp at Suedrammon nearly every day. I have 

 observed this bird in flocks during the winter at Rawal Pindi, 

 and a pair were constantly in my garden during the very 

 cold season of 1890-91.
