observed in Dras and Sum. 373 



26. Metoponia pusilla. 



Common in the Wurdwan, where it breeds, but I failed to 

 find the nest. 



27. MoNTIFRINGILLA ADAMSI. 



Common in Ladakh and Suru, also in the Wurdwan. I 

 did not find this bird lower than 11,000 feet. 



28. Pycnoramphus icteroides. 



Observed a pair of this beautiful Grosbeak in the Wurd- 

 wan, high up among the pine-forests. 



This bird was shot by me in 1888 at Murrce, where, year 

 after year, a flock would always be found near the same spot. 

 Since this I have never observed it there. 



29. Otocorys longirostris. 



Common in Ladakh and Sum, but does not occur below 

 12,000 feet. Breeds during May and June, but I was unable 

 to find the nest. 



30. COLUMBA INTERMEDIA. 



Common all over Kashmir and Ladakh ; shot one at Mini- 

 marg, the middle of the Zogi-la, at about 11,300 feet. 



31. CoLUMBA RUPESTRIS. 



I noticed a few at Dras, and shot one on the Kartse River 

 July 11th. They seem fairly common, and occur in pairs. 

 I have sent the skin to Professor Newton. 



32. CoLUMBA LEUCONOTA. 



Common from 11,000 feet and upwards in Kashmir and 

 Ladakh. I found it breeding among the inaccessible crags 

 of the Ai nullah in August. 



33. JjIgialitis geoffroyi (?). 



I noticed a Plover which corresponded to Jerdon's descrip- 

 tion of ^. geoffroyi, but was unable to get near enough for a 

 shot, as the bird was feeding on a sandbank in the river 

 which flows from the Sum glacier. 



34. Ibidorhynchus struthersi. 



I first observed this bird near the little fort of Sum. T did 

 not meet with it again till I had crossed the Bhut-kol glacier
