 orange rust on chin and throat ; also they have brown not 

 grey ear-coverts. 



Tchitrea paradisi turkestanica Zar. 



The Paradise Flycatcher is a rare bird in Sind ; I only 

 know of three records, though Murray says it is a winter 

 visitor arriving in September. The first was obtained by 

 Murray on 13 December, 1877, at Laki, and Barnes got 

 another at Hyderabad. I obtained the third, a young 

 female, in a guava plantation in the Lyarrce Gardens at 

 Karachi on 23 October, 1918. 



1 have examined a very large series of these birds, and 

 those from Kashmir, Kandahar (April), Simla (Aug.), 

 Murree, Shalugan (June), Kamptee, and Sind are paler than 

 the typical race from ('eylon,and must I think stand as 

 turhestanica Zar. (Orn. Monatsb. 1911, p. 85 — Turkestan). 

 I do not think Indian Peninsula birds are separable from 

 Ceylon specimens either in colour or measurement (wing 

 90-97) and ceylonensis of Zar. & Harms is a pure synonym. 

 T. p. turkestanica is only a winter visitor to the plains. 



Hypothymis azurea styani (Hartl.). 



The Black-naped Blue Flycatcher has not been recorded 

 iu Sind before. On 18 February, 1919, I saw inider some 

 thick shady Fithecolohium trees at the Karachi Sewage 

 Farm a Flycatcher which was unknown to me and on 

 securing it, it proved to be this bird. To meet with this 

 species in the south-west corner of Sind and in the last piece 

 of cultivation before one reaches the Beluchi frontier, was 

 most unexpected ; its ncarpst habitat seems to be the Poona 

 district, some 400 miles south-east, where it is said to be 

 quite resident, nor do I know of any record which indicates 

 local migration. It must be the merest vagrant to Sind and 

 is unrecorded in the Punjab, Mt. Aboo, Deesa, and CUitch. 

 My bird agrees well with the northern Indian race. 



Rhipidura aureola aureola Less.
