310 HeiT A. V. Pelzeln on Birds from 



edges of the tail-feathers at the base of the outer webs rust-red. 

 Underneath same colour as above, only much paler, with the 

 centre of the ventral region almost white ; under wing-coverts 

 white, brown- spotted; under tail-coverts pale white ; quills and 

 rectrices brown. Young birds of both sexes differ from the fe- 

 male by having darker edgings to the feathers — so much so that 

 the bird has a spotted or scaly appearance ; while the young 

 male has already the secondaries white-edged, and the tail black 

 with a metallic sheen. 



RuTiciLLA FULiGiNGSA, Vig. Trauda, Pangi, Chamba, Kote- 

 gurh, Kangra, Chergaon. 



A full-coloured specimen of a male from Pangi has a number 

 of white feathers on the crown. The young birds of both sexes 

 differ from the female by having the feathers on the upper surface 

 towards the end of the shaft showing a white or yellowish spot. 

 On the head and nape the shafts are often light-coloured. In the 

 young male some of the tail-feathers are partly, some almost com- 

 pletely, red ; and it is easy to trace the manner in which the red 

 colour developes itself. 



Chimarrhornis leucocephala (Vig.). Sind valley, Cash- 

 mere, Kotegurh. 



The specimen of a female from the Sind valley is evidently not 

 that of an adult ; the length of wing is 3^"; the belly is not red 

 as in the full-coloured bird, but reddish-black, many of the 

 feathers having faint reddish edgings. 



Thamnobia CAMBAiENSis (Lath.). Kangra, Kangsar? 



Larvivora cyana, Hodgs. Mahasu, Narkanda. 



Ianthia cyanura (Pall.). Kotegurh (winter), Pangi. 



Tarsiger chrys^us, Hodgs. Kotegurh. 



Calliope PECTORALis, Gould. Pharkachan,llangdum Gonpa. 



The female is spotted yellow above ; underneath, more espe- 

 cially on the breast, the feathers have dark edgings — a colour- 

 ing which we find exactly like that of the young bird in many 

 species of Ruticilla. This specimen is evidently that of a quite 

 young female.
