A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF GILGIT. 119 
98.—Phylloscopus viridanus, Blyth. (560.) 
I secured specimens as late as the 23rd September at Gilgit, 
on migration south, 
Phylloscopus nitidus, Blyth. (559.) 
This species must, I believe, be added to the Gilgit list 
on the evidence of a single example shot there on the 23rd 
September. This specimen, a female, has wing 2°4 inches ; tail, 
1:85; bill from gape, 0°53 ; exposed portion of bastard primary, 
0°55, one (lower) wing-bar. Compared with several specimens 
of P. viridanus shot on the same day, its brighter green colour 
above, and considerably more yellow underparts, seem to decide 
in favour of its being referred to P. nitidus; and this view 
is strengthened on comparison of the specimen with Mr. 
Seebolm’s fine series of both species; but unfortunately the 
Gilgit skin is in bad condition. 
100.—Phylloscopus affinis, Tickell, (561.) 
A summer visitor, arriving early in May, and migrating 
southwards about the end of September. In May, part of June, 
and September it is found in the lower valley ; but in the 
intermediate months it is confined to the forests at high eleva- 
tions, where it breeds. 
101.—Phylloscopus indicus, Jerdon. (562.) 
I found this species less common than its ally P. afinis. 
A specimen was obtained as late as the 14th October, which 
shows that P. zndicus is rather late in leaving the district. 
102.—Reguloides occipitalis, Blyth, (563.) 
I obtained specimens of this species as early as the 11th May, 
and young birds in July. Major Biddulph appears to be right 
in not admitting P. trochiloides or flavo-olivaceus to the Gilgit 
list. 
103.—Reguloides humii, Brooks. (565 bis.) 
Common from the 21st March to the end of September. 
Young birds are more green above than adults, have the secon- 
daries conspicuously margined and tipped with buff, and have 
two prominent greenish-yellow wing-bars. 
104.—Reguloides subviridis, Brooks. (566 bis.) 
This species arrives in Gilgit as early as the 19th March, 
and leaves in the beginning of October. It has a very marked 
cry, and can always be distinguished from other allied species 
by its note.
