In Volume XIX, p. 901, of this Journal, Captain Perreau gave a list with 

 notes of the birds of Chitral. I am able to add a few species to this list 

 which I have marked with an asterisk. 



The Greenish Willow- Wakbler* {Acanthopneuste i-iridanus), Blyth. — 

 I found this among the bag made by two urchins with stonebows. The 

 measurements were : Length 4*o", wing 2*3", tail 1"6", gape '48" and 

 tarsus '75". 



Central-Asiax Stabling [Stunius porphyronotus), Sharpe. — Captain 

 Perreau was in doubt as to the species of starling he saw in Drosh. 

 I saw many flights in early November, and on the 5th shot two which I 

 identified as this species, and a skin sent to our Society was acknowledged 

 as such. I saw flights c>i starlings again late in February flying North, but 

 halting in Drosh. 



Paradise Flycatcher {Terpsiphone paradisi), Linne.^ — I saw a single 

 specimen in black and white plumage in Drosh on the 24th April. 



CoMJiox Pied Bush-Chat [Pratincola caprata), Linne. — I noted this 

 common in April on the farm in Lower Drosh. 



The Indian Bush-Chat {Pratincola onaura), Pallas, — I saw a[few pairs du 

 the farm in Lower Drosh in March. 



Redwings {*Turdus iliacus), Linne. — Captain Perreau says he is nearly 

 sure he saw this bird near Drosh in February. I saw many on the farm at 

 Drosh in Februarj/ and March and shot one on the 2ord of March to make 

 the point certain.
