Egretta garzetta garzetta (L.). (1 skin.) 



Not uncommon and probably resident. Eggs were secured 



from a colony breeding in company with Ardeola grayii at 



Chund bridge in July 1919. 



[Egretta intermedia intermedia (Wagl.). 



One or two Eo-rets seen both in summer and winter, 

 appeared somewhat intermediate in size between the last two 

 species and may have been of this kind.] 



Bubulcns ibis coromandus (Bodd.). 



Identified on 18 March and 23 September, 1918, and on 

 15 June, 1919, but probably more common than these records 

 imply. White Egrets are seen occasionally throughout the 

 year, and circumstances do not allow of the specific identifi- 

 cation of the majority seen. 



Ardeola grayii (Sykes). 



A resident in small numbers, which are greatly increased 

 by an immigration of birds arriving about May ; they breed 

 in July and August, and depart probably in September. 



[Butorides javanicus (Horsf.). 



A small and dark Bittern seen at Asabha on 27 September, 

 1918, was probably an immature example of this species.] 



Nycticorax nycticorax nycticorax (L.). 



A few colonies of the Night Heron are to be found here 

 and there in the district, as at Chund bridge, Mochiwala, 

 Wer, and Jaura. It is a resident species. 



Botaurns stellaris (L.). 



A single Bittern was flushed on 7 and 8 December, 1919, 

 from a small reed-bed at Massan. 



Anser anser (L.). 



Anser indicus (Lath.). 



In November 1871 Hume passed down the Jhelum and 

 Chenab rivers through Jhang District on his way to Sind 

 (Stray Feathers, vol. i.). To anyone reading that account
