‘FURTHER NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF GILGIT. 261 
A male of C. cashmirensis measures: Length, 5:36 inches ; 
wing, 4°05 ; tail, 2°28 ; tarsus, 0°45. A female measures: Length, 
5°5 ; wing, 4:03; tail, 2°4 ; tarsus, 0°5. 
All the specimens of C. cashmirensis are dusky beneath, 
instead of pure-white as in C. urdica, and have dusky mesial 
centres to the feathers of abdomen, flanks, and rump. The 
under wing-coverts are brown, instead of dirty white, as in 
C. urbica. My specimens are identical with Gould’s type in 
the British Museum. 
35.—Caprimulgus unwini, Hume. (111 bis.) 
My collector brought me a female from the Deosai plain, 
where it appeared to be common. 
46.—Certhia hodgsoni, Brooks, (243 bis.) 
This species appears to be commoner in the Astor valley, 
where it probably breeds. I procured two immature speci- 
mens there in July at an elevation of 10,000 feet. 
47.—Tichodroma muraria, Lin. (247.) 
IT saw one of this species in September at an elevation of 
15,000 feet ; and I fancied that I identified one at an elevation 
of 13,000 feet in July ; so it probably breeds in the district. 
IT have procured it in Ladakh at 13,000 feet, in the middle of 
September. 
52.—Lanius phoenicuroides, Severiz. (262 bis.) 
The Shrike referred to (bis, 1881, p. 51) under the name 
of L. cristatus, proves to belong to this species. I obtained 
two immature specimens on 6th September and 16th October. 
53.—Pericrocotus brevirostris, Vigors. (273.) 
I procured a single specimen on the 9th August in Gilgit, 
and a number in September and October, all females, ~ or 
males in female plumage. This Minivet never appeared in 
Gilgit during the first two winters I spent there. I certainly 
never procured it; and it is so conspicuous, even in the grey 
and yellow plumage, that I could not have helped remarking 
it had it been there. I procured it in Chitral, in November, 
at 6,000 feet elevation; and it is probably to be found in 
Darel, though I did not get it from there. 
56.—Hemichelidon sibirica, Gmel. (296.) 
None of the specimens I have from the North-west Hima- 
layas appear of so dark a tone as a specimen sent me from 
Sikkim by the late Mr. Mandelli; this is specially notice-
