268 FURTHER NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF GILGIT. 
The Plumbeous Water-Robin is a true flycatcher ; and I 
have often watched a pair hawking at insects on the wing, 
and returning to their post on a stone or tree-stump at the 
water’s edge. 
90.—Calliope pectoralis, Gould. (513.) 
I received specimens of this bird both from Darel and the 
Deosai plain. My largest specimen has a wing of exactly three 
inches. Through some mistake in my former paper it was 
stated to measure 3°25 inches. 
92.—Cyanecula leucocyanea, Brehm. (514 Dis.) 
It may be useful here to mention that in 1874 I found this 
species very common on both sides of the Digar pass; between 
the Nobra and Indus valleys, during the last week of June. 
With the exception of the specimen secured by Dr. Scully, 
I never saw another of the species in Gilgit. 
93.—Acrocephalus dumetorum, Blyth. (516.) 
~ Out of twenty-four specimens brought away from Gilgit, 
I find that nineteen were procured in August (mostly in the 
latter half of the month), and the remaining five in the first 
half of September. In the summer of 1880 they first ap- 
peared in Gilgit on 22nd August. 
93 a.—Locustella straminea, Severtz. (520.) 
I shot an adult female of this species on Ist September, and 
saw another on the following day. Length, 5:75 inches ; wing, 
2°2; tail, 2°12; tarsus, 0°74. Irides dark brown; legs fleshy 
red. 
97.—Phylloscopus lugubris, Blyth. (558.) 
' This species must be expunged from the Gilgit list. 
99.—Phylloscopus tytleri, Brooks. (560 dis.) 
I obtained altogether three specimens, in May, June, and 
August; so it no doubt breeds in the district. I also got it 
in Astor in May. 
103 a.—Reguloides proregulus, Pallas. (566.) 
I obtained three specimens, two females and one male, in 
Gilgit, in January. 
105.—Regulus cristatus, Koch. (580.) 
I procured three specimens in June at an elevation of 
10,000 feet, in a valley leading towards Darel. I also pro- 
cured specimens in the Astor valley, where it appears to be
