(741) Pycnorhamphus icterotdes. — The Black and Yellow Grosbeak. This 

 is a very common bird, and is found in the spring in flocks. This year 

 (1905) the birds, owing to the heavy snows on the hills, stayed down until late 

 in June, but they generally move up to about 9,000' early in May. 



(744) 3Iycerobas melanoxanthus. — The Spotted-winged Grosbeak. I have 

 not yet got a specimen, but this bird is recorded from various parts. 



(745) Pyrrhula'.aurantiaca. — The Orange Bull-finch, I have not yet got the 

 nest. This bird is very plentiful and is found at all seasons in Kashmir moving 

 upwards in May. 



(746) Pyrrhula erythrocephala. — The Bed-headed Bull-finch is certainly a 

 rare bird in Kashmir, but is recorded. 



(753) Phyrrhospiza punicea. — The Red-breasted Kose-Finch. A common bird 

 in summer in the eastern part of Ladak and breeds in July at about 14,000 ft.; 

 it is not found at Chusal. 



(754; Propasser thura. — The White-browed Rose-Finch, A considerable 

 number pass through Kashmir in the spring, and may be seen in small flocks 

 pecking about under the bushes ; migrates to Ladak, but whether it passes into 

 Tibet to breed I am not sure. A bird was seen in Kashmir at 7,000' in 

 September. 



(757) Propasser grandis. — The Red-mantled Rose-Finch. 



(758) Propasser rhodochrous.— -The Pink-browed Rose-Finch. This bird is 

 not rare at high elevations in summer and I have specimens from the lower 

 hills obtained in the early spring. 



(761) Carpodacus erythrinus. — The Common Rose-Finch is found in 

 Kashmir, Baltistan and Ladak. 



(762) Carpodacus severtzovi. — Severtzoff's Rose-Finch. I am doubtful 

 about the only specimen labelled Kashmir, but this Finch is found towards 

 the Ladak boundary. 



(764) Erythrospiza mongolica. — The Mongolian Desert-Finch. As far as I 

 am aware this bird has not been found on the Kashmir side of the snowy 



(765) Procarduelis nepalensis. — The Dark Rose-Finch appears to be rare. 



(767) Carduelis caniceps. — The Himalayan Gold-Finch as a rule migrates 

 over the Kashmir passes, but some few breed in the hills as low down as 7,000'. 



(768) Callacanthis burtoni, — The Red-browed Finch evidently breeds in 

 Kashmir. I have obtained it in summer in the Wadhwan and Leddar valleys. 



(769) Acanihis fringillirostris. — The Eastern Linnet appears to be rare. 



(770) Acanthis brevirostris.—The Eastern Twite has been recorded from the 

 Indus valley near Gilgit and elsewhere in those parts. 



(771) Metoponia pusilla. — The Gold-fronted Finch. The only place where 

 I have found this bird breeding is in Baltistan. I have eggs from Suru. 



(772) Hypacanihis spinoides. — The Himalayan Green-Finch is a common bird 

 ranging up to about 8,000'. 



(774) Fringilla montifringilla.—Th* Brambling migrates through Kashmir.
