490 NOTES ON THE AVIFAUNA OF MOUNT ABOO 



record of this species occurring within the limits of British 

 India, and it was this that made me hesitate before recording 

 the specimen as I did. — A. 0. H.] 



593 bis.—- Budytes melanocephala, Licht. 



The Black-cap Field Wagtail is common in the plains, but 

 does not ascend the hills. I dare say that other species occur, 

 but all the specimens I sent to Mr. Hume proved to belong to 

 this species. 



[Same as 591 bis.— A. 0. H.] 



[594. — Budytes citreoloides, Hodgson. (?-B. cal- 

 caratus, Hodgs.) 



I have specimens of this I find from every sub-division of the 

 whole region, and one from not far from Deesa itself, but I have 

 not seen it yet from Aboo. — A. 0. H.] 



596.— Pipastes maculatus, Hodgs. 



The Indian Tree Pipit is common during the cold weather 

 on the hills and in the plains. 



It arrives about the 5th September. 



[I have never observed this in Sindh or seen it from that 

 province, Jodhpoor, Cutch or Kattiawar, and yet it must, I 

 think, occur in these latter, as Captain Butler found it common 

 in the plains of Northern G-uzerat, and Mr. Adam has sent 

 many specimens from Sambhur. — A. 0. H.] 



597. — Pipastes arboreus, Bechst. (P. plumatus* 

 Muller.) 



The European Tree Pipit is not uncommon in the plains 

 during the cold weather. It so closely resembles the last 

 species that until Mr. Hume kindly pointed out the difference 

 to me I confounded the two species. It arrives about the 13th 

 September. 



[Dr. King obtained this on Aboo also. I found this, though 

 rare, in Sindh and have it from every sub-division of the whole 

 region. — A. 0. H.] 



600.— Corydalla rufula, Vieillot. 



The Indian Tit Lark is common in the plains during the cold 

 weather, but does not ascend the hills to my knowledge. 



[Dr. King noted this from Aboo itself, but I have no speci- 

 men thence. Mr. Adam found it very common at Sambhur and 

 so I did both there and at Ajmere, but I have no specimen 

 or record of it from Sindh, dutch, Kattiawar or Jodhpoor. — 

 A. 0. H.]
