120 A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF GILGIT. 
105.—Regulus cristatus, Koch. (580.) 
A summer visitor, only found in the forests at high eleva- 
tions, and apparently not common. A male with wing 2°15 
inches, bill at front 0°37, has two distinct whitish wing-bars. 
Sylvia jerdoni, Blyth. (581.) 
This Eastern long-billed race of Sylvia orphea appears to 
have been accidentally omitted from Major Biddulph’s list, 
as he had obtained a specimen in Gilgit before his paper was 
written. It only passes through Gilgit on migration, in May 
and June, and again early in September. 
106.—Sylvia affinis, Blyth. (582.) 
I have only three specimens, obtained in April, May, and 
September, which can be referred to this form. The wings 
measure 2°6 to 2°63, and the second primary is intermediate 
between the sixth and seventh. The September specimen has 
the upper parts more brown than the other two, and this is 
probably due to its having freshly moulted. 
107.—Sylvia althea, Hume. (582 ter.) 
A summer visitor, and common from the 25th April to the 
end of September; it breeds at an elevation of about 9,000 
feet. In males the wings vary from 2°73 to 2°83; ina female 
the wing measures 2°7. There can be no doubt about the 
identification, as my skins have been compared with a typical 
specimen in Mr. Seebolhim’s charge. 
108 —Sylvia rufa, Bodd. (582 quat.) 
So far only obtained during the autumn migration. Two 
specimens measured :—Wing, 2°8 inches; tail, 26 and 27; 
tarsus, 0°85 and 0°86, 
109.—Henicurus scouleri, Vigors. (587.) 
A permanent resident, at elevations of 5,000 to 7,000 feet. 
It is nearly confined to the small streams, but is occasionally 
found in winter on the banks of the larger rivers, and has for 
associates Jtuticilla leucocephala and Cinclus asiaticus. I cannot 
detect any difference between Gilgit examples of H, scoulert 
and a specimen from Moupin in Eastern Thibet. 
110.—Motacilla hodgsoni, Gray. (589 dis.) 
Two males of this Wagtail, shot on the 20th May, measure : 
—Length, 8:1 and 8:2 inches; wing, 3°8 and 3°34; tail, 4 and 
4:2; tarsus, 0°9 and 0:93; bill from gape, 073; culmen, 0°67 
and 0°7, A female, shot on the 16th May—Length, 7°8 ; wing,
