226. The Indian White-eye — Zosterops palpebrosa. 



Fairly common and I think a resident. Breeds chiefly in April and 

 also in May. 

 269. The Himalayan Black Bulbul — Hypsipetes psaroides. 



I have myself come across a single individual on one occasion in the 

 cold weather at Lahore, and have been told of other instances when it 

 has been seen, but on the whole a rare straggler to Lahore in the cold 

 weather. 

 283. The Punjab Red-vented Bulbul — Molp>astes intermedius. 



A very common permanent resident. Its nest may be found any 

 time from April onwards in the hot weather at Lahore. 

 285. The White-eared Bulbul — Molpastes leucotis. 



As Mr. Dewar has pointed out this bird is a cold weather visitor 

 to Lahore arriving in October and leaving in March. Major Lindsay 

 Smith tells me that this bird breeds at Lyalpur during the hot weather, 

 and it may therefore possibly do so somewhere in the Lahore district, 

 though I am quite certain that it deserts all its haunts in the vicinity of 

 Lahore at that time. 

 327. The Black Drongo — Dicrurus ater, 



A very common resident at Lahore where it breeds chiefly in May 

 and June. I once saw several fully fledged young birds slightly marked 

 with white on the cheeks, throat, edge of wing, abdomen and under 

 tail coverts. I can confirm Mr. Dewar's observation that the nest of 

 the Red Turtle Dove and Indian Oriole are frequently found in the 

 same tree iis the nest of this bird. 

 841. The Himalayan Tree-creeper — Certhia himalayana. 



I have frequently seen this bird at Lahore in October, from which I 

 presume it to be a cold weather visitor. Though it may only have been 

 passing through then I think it unlikely. 

 363. The Indian Great Reed-warbler — Acrocephalus stentoreus. 



1 have seen and heard this bird in the vicinity of water at Lahore on 

 the 17th April, the 6th May and the 20th October, from which it would 

 appear that it passes through Lahore in small numbers on the spring 

 and autumn migrations. I have recorded elsewhere that it breeds at 

 Gurdaspur. 

 366. Blyth's Reed- warbler — Acrocephalus dumetorwn. 



This bird is most plentiful at Lahore in September and April when it 

 is on migration and though some may remain during the cold weather 

 I have not noticed them. It has very sweet low song in the spring. 

 374. The Indian Tailor-bird — Orthotomus sutorius. 



A common permanent resident. I have found all my nests in May 

 or early June. 

 381. The Rufous Fantail-warbler — Cisticola cursitans. 



I am not sure whether this bird is a resident at Lahore, but it is 

 found in the hot weather and breeds from July to September, i.e., in 

 the rains. 

 384. The Rufous-fronted Wren-warbler. — Iranklinia buchanani. 



This is one of the commonest resident warblers and its cheery song 

 may be heard throughout the hot weather at Lahore in open country 

 studded with low bushes. I have found nests in every month from the 

 latter part of March to the beginning of September. 

 386. The long-tailed Grass warbler — LaticiUa burned. 



I have already sent an account of the breeding of this bird at Lahore 

 to this Journal. It would appear to be a permanent resident and though 

 I have only found nests in May I have seen fully fledged young birds 

 in August. One nest which I watched under construction appeared
