 summer visitor to the distant districts of G-ilgit and Baltistan. 



Fam. Fringillid^e, 



We have still a great deal to learn regarding the migrations and breeding of 

 this family, and information comes in slowly. As the Finches are very migra- 

 toty and visit distant parts, my collectors have, I regret to say, done but little; 

 it is not easy to get men to travel in Northern Ladak and Tibet, and during 

 my own journeys I was peculiarly unsuccessful in finding nests. Mr. Stuart 

 Baker has corresponded with me on this subject and been most obliging. Next 

 year if all goes well I trust I shall have more to report. 



(743) Pycnorhamphus carneipes. — The White-winged Grosbeak. Of this 

 Grosbeak I have no record from Kashmir proper.
