FURTHER NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF GILGIT. Q271 
147.—Temenuchus pagodarum, G'mel. (687.) 
I got altogether five specimens during four summers I spent 
in Gilgit—three in May and two in June. 
149.—Passer indicus, Jard. & Selby. (706.) 
During the winter of 1880-81 which was nota severe one, 
I procured a few specimens, all males. They were, however, 
scarce. 
152.—Emberiza leucocephala, S$. G. Gmel. (712.) 
The earliest specimens were observed on the 11th 
November, and the latest on the 3rd March, but it was only in 
December that any quantity was obtained. 
154.—Emberiza stewarti, Blyth. (718.) 
I procured a single specimen, a female, in December, in 
Gilgit. With this exception, no other specimen was observed 
later than 4th October. 
155.—Emberiza buchanani, Blyth. (716.) 
I received specimens of this Bunting from the upper part 
of the Yassin valley, near the foot of the Shandur plateau, in 
August. In the Gilgit district I never saw it except in 
September. 
158.—Euspiza luteola, Sparrm. (722.) 
I procured a male in adult plumage on the19th May; no 
others were seen at the time. In August I procured a male 
and female, and in September two males, all four in imma- 
ture plumage. I also procured a male and female, in August, 
from Yassin, at an elevation of over 10,000 feet. 
I have examined the Huspiza mentioned by Dr. Scully 
(Ibis, 1881, pp. 575, 576),as appearing to belong to this 
species. Several of my immature specimens show the same 
difference in measurement between the longest secondaries 
and longest primaries, and three specimens also show slight 
spots on the breast, though in none are the spots so large and 
conspicuous as in Dr. Scully’s specimen. The bird is, 
however, so like £. luteola in every other particular that I 
cannot believe it to belong to another species. 
162.—Erythrospiza mongolica, Swinh. (732 bis A.) 
I obtained a malein breeding plumage in June, at an ele- 
vation of 9,000 feet. The two wing-patches, which in other 
specimens are dusky-white, in this are pure white, while the 
tips of the larger coverts, which are of a faint rose-colour at
