I have assigned my specimens to tliis form purely 

 on measurement, three males having wings of 115, 112, 



112 mm. 



In colour they are identical with Euro]>ean specimens, 

 which separates them at once from M. s. tnmsco.spicus, which 

 is apparently also obtained at Quetta on passage, though I 

 never secured one. 



Myiophoneus temniiuckii. 



M. t. temmincJai Vig. 



Resident above 7000 foet in nearly every secluded gorge. 

 I found it a very shy bird but with an exquisite song 

 which, when heard resounding through some mossy gorge 

 to the sound of falling water, is a joy never to l)e for- 

 gotten. 



I never found a nest, but saw full-grown young being fed 



on 20.vii. 



The wings of two males measured 1<S4 mm. and of one 



female 177 mm. 



CEnantlie oenanthe. 



(Ji". <i'. auMidhe (L.). ( = Sa.vicola cenanthe Gates, F. B. I.) 

 An adult male was obtained at Quetta on 17.iii. and an 

 adult female on 18. x. Not otherwise observed. 



(Enanthe deserti. 



(B. d. albifrons (Brandt). (= Sa^. deserti Gates, 

 F.B.I.) ' 



A fairly common bird of passage, commencing the autumn 

 passage in late Gctober, wdiile a few renuiin till the first 

 days of December. It reappears in breeding-plumage from 

 28. ii., the latest being observed on 29. iv. None were 

 seen in summer, though Marshall reports a nest with young 

 at Quetta on 24. v. Two " montana " varieties were obtained 

 on 28. ii. and 4.iii. The wings of males varied from 91 

 to 9G mm. 



There are specimens in the Quetta Museum from the 

 town dated dan. and Feb.
