Muscicapa striata neumanni Poclie. (1 skin.) 



Observed on the autumn mioration as follows : — 

 20 September, 1918 : one shot at "VVariam ; 31 August, 

 1919 : one seen at Jhang city station ; 10 September, 1919 : 

 two on the railway telegraph wire near Wariam. As in the 

 case o£ Agrohates g. famillaris, these birds represented tiie 

 outer fringe of a rush of migration through Bind about 

 the same period, as observed by Dr. 0. B. Ticehurst, who 

 was then stationed at Karachi. There is only one previous 

 record for the Punjab : namely, the male obtained by me on 

 10 September, 1913, at Snrdi in the Salt Range (Ibis, 1916, 

 p. 59). 



Siphia parva parva (Bechst.). (6 skins.) 



The Red-breasted Flycatcher is an abundant passage 

 migrant through the district in both spring and autumn. 

 The spring passage starts early in March and continues in 

 force until about the middle of April, the latest record 

 being for 2& April, 1919. 



In autumn it arrives about the middle of September, the 

 earliest record being on the 9th (1919), but passes on again 

 between the middle of October and the middle of November. 

 A comparatively small number remain in the district through- 

 out the winter. On the spring passage the males are some- 

 what pugnacious. 



Culicicapa zeylonensis (Swains.). (1 skin.) 



A winter straggler only. One was procured from a mixed 

 hunting-party of Tits, Wiiite-eyes and "Willow- Wrens in a 

 large garden at Dab Kalan on 21 December, 1918. One, or 

 possibly two, was frequenting the rest-house earden at Shah 

 Jiwana when I was there on 18 and 19 January, 1920. 



Phylloscopus collyWta tristis Blyth. (10 skins.) 



The Siberian Chiffchaff arrives in the district towards the 

 end of September or beginning of October and remains 

 throughout the winter until March, during wiiich month a 

 marked increase is noted with the arrival of the spring 

 passage migrants. These appear, however, to pass on rapidly,
