238 NOTES UPON A COLLECTION OF BIRDS MADE 



407.— Garrulax leucolophus, Hardwiclce. 



A few seen not far from Dhiinda. 



425. — Trochalopteron lineatum, Vigors. 



Seen on many occasions about Mussoori, where it is exces- 

 sively common. I also met with it as high up as Derali. 



429.— Sibia capistrata, Vigors. 



Common about Kauriagalia and Dhanolti ; seen also at 

 Suki ; also near the village of Banguli, which is on the 

 mountain side above Danguli. I have frequently mentioned 

 Dhiinda as one of the places where species were obtained or 

 seen. Dhiinda was a collection of cattle sheds only, formed of 

 branches of trees and rough thatch of dried grass. Nearly the 

 whole had been burnt down before I arrived there, and the 

 place was entirely abandoned. It is one of the camping places 

 marked on Montgomerie's Route Map, and if not rebuilt, future 

 travellers may perhaps search in vain for Dhiinda. 



444. — Hypsipetes psaroides, Vigors. 



Very common as far up as Suki. 



459.— Otocompsa leucogenys, Gould. 



Frequently seen in the warm parts of the valley. 



461. — Pycnonotus (Molpastes) pygaeus, Hodgson. 



Occurs in the lower parts of the valley. The brown ear 

 patch serves to distinguish this species. 



470.— Oriolus kundoo, SyJces. 



Seen in the warm parts of the valley. 



475.— Copsycluis saularis, Linn. 



Seen about Dhiinda and other places of moderate elevation. 



481. — Pratincola caprata, Linn. 



In the lower parts of the valley. 



438.— Pratincola indica, Blyth. 



Not by any means so common as it is in Kumaon. On bare 

 open hills, where there are a few bushes here and there, it is 

 frequently seen. The Stone Chats of the south of England 

 differ considerably from those of the north of England and of 

 Scotland. The former much resemble our Indian birds ; but I 

 have not seen yet an exact correspondence, and am therefore 

 not satisfied with the identification. The large Northumbrian
