677. The Black-throated Ousel — Merula atrif/ularis. 



1 have only seen this bird at Lahore in March when it passes through 

 in fair numbers on migration. 

 720. The Baya — Ploceus haya. 



Common resident, breeding June to September. 

 734. The White-throated Munia — Uroloncha malabarica. 



Common resident. Found nests in April, May and July. 



737. The Green Munia — Stictospiza formosa. 



I have sent a separate account to the Journal of the breeding of this 

 bird at Lahore. I have only noticed it at Lahore in August, breeding 

 in evergreens in the Lawrence Gardens. 



738. The Indian Red Munia — Sporceginthus amandava. 



Fairly common resident at Lahore. I have not found its nest but 

 have noticed fully fledged young ones at Xmas time. I have looked 

 for its nest in the rains without success. 

 .761. The common Rose-Finch — Ccapodacus eri/thrinus. 



This bird passes through Lahore in considerable numbers on migra- 

 tion in April, which is the only month in which I have observed it. 

 769. The Eastern Linnet — Acanthis fringillirostris. 



At Lahore last Sei)tember (1914) I saw several small parties of 

 Linnets feeding in the grass rakh and passing overhead in a South- 

 Easterly direction, which I fancy must have belonged to this species. 

 I did not however shoot one, 

 776. The Yellow-throated Sparrow — Gipnnorhis JlavicoUis . 



My observations confirm Mr. Dewar's that this bird is only a hot 

 weather visitor to Lahore. It arrives towards the end of March and 

 leaves again in October. I have found nests in April, May and 

 June. 



776. The House Sparrow — Passer domesticus. 



A very common resident. I have found nests in May and June and 

 it undoubtedly breeds in other months as well, but I have not troubled 

 to look for nests. 



777. The Rufous-backed Sparrow. — Passer pyrrhonotus, 



I have already sent an account to the Journal of the breeding of this 

 sparrow at Lahore which is considerably outside its hitherto recorded 

 range in the Fauna. It breeds usually in colonies in Kukur trees close 

 to water. I have found nests at Lahore in May, June and August and 

 at Wazirabad in April in the above situation, the only exceptions to 

 which were two nests, one built in a creeper forming an ornamental 

 archway in a garden, and the other in a hole in an iron gate at a level 

 crossing, which the year before had been tenanted by a pair of yellow- 

 throated sparrows, but in both cases the nests were in the vicinity of 

 water. Other places I have met with this bird are Dera Ismail 

 Khan, Multan, Gurdaspur and Ferozepore, so it would appear to be 

 pretty generally distributed over the Punjab, though not occurring 

 north of Wazirabad. It would appear to be a Resident at Lahore 

 and can best be distinguished while at large from P. domesticus by 

 its smaller size and very short throat stripe which does not extend 

 down on to the breast as in P, domesticus. 



778. The Spanish Sparrow — Passer hispaniole^isis . 



1 have seen large flocks of this sparrow at Muridke in March on 

 migration. 

 794. The Eastern Meadow Bunting — Emberiza stracheyi. 



Passes through Lahore in considerable numbers in September and 

 March and possibly some remain throughout the cold weather. Most 

 numerous in March.
