FAM: SYLVIIDiE. 



Mr. Stuart Baker kindly identified a number of the specimens, but as before- 

 stated we have still much to learn regarding the breeding places of these 

 birds, I am not at all confideat of the list being complete. 



(363). Acrocephalus stentoreus. — The Indian Great Reed- Warbler, breeds in 

 Kashmir generally in June, and is to be found on the lakes, after breeding is 

 sometimes met with in the side valleys but I have never found it later than 

 October. 



(336). Acrocep'ialus dumetorwn. — Blyth's Reed-Warbler, is a summer visitor 

 to the Kashmir Valley. 



(367). Acrocephalus agricola. ^The Paddy-field Reed-Warbler. I have never- 

 found the nest of this bird in Kashmir although my collectors have searched 

 carefully. 



(369). Tribura major. — The Large-billed Bush-Warbler, found in Kashmir,. 

 Baltistan and in Ladak in summer. 



(371). Tribura thoracica. — The Spotted Bush-Warbler, recorded from 

 Kashmir. 



(374). Orthotomus sutorius. — The Indian Tailor-bird, found in Jammu Pro- 

 vince but appears to be rare. 



(382). FranMinia gracilis. — Franklin's Wren-Warbler. I have seldom ob- 

 tained this bird in Kashmir. 



(394). Hypolais rama.— Sykes's Tree-Warbler, doubtful. 



(396). Hypolais caligata. — The Booted Tree-Warbler, migrates through 

 Baltistan but appears to have been seldom secured. 



(398). Sylvia cinerea. — White-throated Warbler. 



(399). Sylvia jerdoni. — The Eastern Orphean-Warbler. I enter this on 

 the strength of Fauna of India, Bird's, page 396, Vol. 1. 



(401). Sylvia althcea. — Hume's Lesser White-throated Warbler. I cannot 

 be sure of the correctness of the labelling, as the specimen I secured was 

 marked " Shot, Kargil 4th May 1903, eggs taken. " 



(402). Sylvia affinis. — Indian Lesser White-throated Warbler, is a common 

 bird in Kashmir in the summer where it breeds ; it is also found in Baltistan. 



(405), Phylloscopus affinis. — Tickell's Willow- Warbler. Breeds in Ladak at 

 elevations up to 14,500' and also in Kashmir in June. 



(406). Phylloscopus tytleri. — Tytlers Willow-Warbler, summers in Kasnmir. 



(407). Phylloscopus tristis. — The Brown Willow-Warbler. The eggs of this 

 bird were taken in Ladak at high altitudes on llth June and on 17th July. 



(408). Phylloscopus indicus. — The Olivaceous Willow-Warbler. 



(414). Phylloscopus pulcher. — The Orange-barred Willow-Warbler. I am 

 doubtful whether the single specimen was rightly labelled " Kisbtwar. " 



(415), Phylloscopus proregidus. — Pallas's Willow-Warbler. A common bird 

 in Kashmir. Eggs found in Kashmir, 9,000', on 27th June. 



(416). Phylloscopus subviridis. — Brooks's Willow-Warbler. I have not 

 secured a specimen.
