(856)-. Oloconjs lonyirostris. — The Long-billed Horned Lark. I have spe- 

 cimens from Moulbekh-Ladak Koad obtained in May from the foot of the 

 Kherdong Pass and an immature bird, July 8, from Leh. 



(857). Otocorys ehcesi. — Elwes's Horned Lark. This like the preceding 

 species is freeiy common in Ladak. In the summer, when it breeds, I have 

 the eggs from Baltistan but without date. 



(859). Melanocorypha bimaculata. — The Eastern Calandra Lark. The only 

 specimen secured in Kashmir was obtained Dec. 27, 1903, near Srinagar. It 

 is plentiful in some of the Northern districts. 



(86 J). Alaucla arvemis. — The Sky-Lark is found in most of the districts 

 we are dealing with, varies greatly in size, and in the depth of the brown 

 colouring of the upper plumage. Breeds generally in May, at various altitudes 

 ranging from the main valleys to certainly over 10,000'. 



(801). Alauda gulgula. — The Indian Sky-Lark. Does cot appear to come 

 to the Kashmir hills, but is reported from the flat country within the bound- 

 aries of Jammu, etc. 



(862). Calandrella bractydactyla — The Short-toed Lark (doubtful). 



(864). Calandrella tibetana. — Brooks's Short-toed Lark. I have the eggs of 

 this bird taken on the Ladak Road in May. 



(865). Calandrella acutirostris. — Humes' Short-toed Lark, said to summer in 

 Gilgit. 



(878). Ammomanes phcenicuroides. — The Desert Finch Lark. 



Order Pici. Fam. Picim;. — Woodpeckers and Wrynecks. 



(916), Gecinus squamatus. — The West-Himalayan Scaly-bellied Green 

 Woodpecker, is widely distributed. The eggs are often six in number, and are 

 laid in May or April, 



(950). Gecinus occipitalis. — The Black-naped Green Woodpecker. Generally 

 breeds later than the foregoing species and has a wide range. 



(951). Gecinus chlorolophus. — The Small Himalayan Yellow-naped Wood- 

 pecker is rarely found and probably only in Kishtwair and Badrawar and the 

 extreme western boundaries of Kashmir. 



(960). Hypopicus hyperytlirus. — The Rufous -bellied Pied Woodpecker. I 

 have rarely seen this bird within the District under observation. 



(961). Dendrocopus liimalayensis — The Western Himalayan Pied Wood- 

 pecker. Ascends to considerable altitudes and is a common bird in Kashmir 

 and Baltistan, and generally lays its eggs in April. I found the young well 

 grown on May 16th, 1904. 



(963). Dendrocopus sindianus. — The Sind Pied Woodpecker. 1 think it is 

 safe to enter this bird in our list, although I have not personally observed it 

 actually within Kashmir territory. 



(967). Dendrocopus macii. — The Fulvous-breasted Pied Woodpecker. 

 Whether this bird is to be found or not, I am doubtful, The specimen in the 

 museum did not apparently come from Kashmir.
