THE PUNJAB, AND SIND. 471 



352.-— Petrophila erythrogastra, Vig. 



I got two or three near Darjeeling. 



356.— Turdus unicolor, Tick. 



Near Darjeeling ; this is as true a Turdus as could be. Quite 

 as much so as the Redwing. 



365. —Turdus atrogularis, Tern. 



Common at Darjeeling, and also about Saharunpore in the 

 cold weather. The note is harsh and fieldfare-like. 



368.— Turdus hodgsoni, Lafr. 



I think this bird distinct from the European Missel Thrush ; 

 less green and larger; longer bill. There are several small 

 points in which it does not agree with T. viscivorus. 



388.— Alcippe nipalensis, Sodgs. 



Below Darjeeling. 



391.— Stachjnris nigriceps, Eodgs. 



Below Darjeeling. 



393.— Stachyris ruficeps, Bly. 



Very common about Darjeeling^ but replaced lower down at 

 Punkabaree by 8. rvfifrons, Hume. As long as it finds dense 

 ground cover, it does not seem to be very particular about ele- 

 vation, though at Punkabaree, I only noticed rufifrons. Like 6'. 

 pyrrhops, this bird has a low soft whistle. It responded very 

 readily to the owl-call made by using a bit of small bamboo. 



395.— Mixornis rubricapillus, Tick. 



This bird is not common. I only procured one near Punka- 

 baree. It affects ground cover, and in notes and habits seems 

 closely affined to Stachp^is. 



In Sikhim, I saw numbers of Garrulax and Trochalopterum^ 

 but I shall not notice them, except to say, that they respond very 

 readily to the owl-call. 



432. — Malacocercus terricolor, Eodgs. 



One or two I shot near Sukhur in Sind appear to be this 

 species. 



438— Chatarrhsea caudata, Bum. 



Obtained near Mooltan, and also at Sehwan ; I saw it also 

 at Sukhur. 



443.— Laticilla burnesi, Bly. 



I shot this bird in tamarisk jungle where it was intergrown at 

 the roots thickly with long grass. It is very difficult to shoot,.
