observed one on the 24th of the month, and think I heard 

 another on the 27th. 



367. The Paddy-field Reed-Warbler — Acrocephalus agricola (Jerd.). 



A bird believed to have been of this species was seen on 24th 

 August. 



374. The Indian Tailor-bird — Orthotonius sutorius (Forst.). 



A common resident throughout the district, being usually 

 found in gardens. 1 found two nests with eggs in the hedge of 

 my compound on the 20th and 21st of June respectively. The 

 first contained 3 fresh eggs, and the second a moderately incu- 

 bated clutch of five. 



384. The Rufous-fronted Wren-Warbler — Iranklinia buchanani (Blyth). 



Resident and common ; 3 moderately incubated eggs were 

 found in a nest on the I st of April, and naked young in another 

 nest on 1st July. 



394. Sykes' Tree- Warbler — Hypolais rama (Sykes). 



396. The Booted Tree- Warbler — Hypolais caligata (Licht). 



An odd Tree-Warbler or two were noted during the spring 

 migration about the end of April and in May. On the autumn 

 migrate specimens of both the above species were obtained. 

 Only two individuals were noted in July ; the first was seen on 

 the 8th and shot but lost ; the second was shot on July 18th and 

 proved to be a male Hypolais caligata. 



During August they were common, several parties being obs- 

 erved in the Kikur plantations by the Canal on the 11th of the 

 month. I was away during the first part of September, but 

 after my return I saw a single bird on the i4th of September. 



398. The Whitethroat— »S?/^2;za cinera, Bechst. 



A male was obtained in the Kikur plantation by the canal on 

 24th of August. On the previous day while returning from 

 Wazirabad by train, I saw what appeared to be an example 

 of these species fly out of a bush on the Railway embankment. 



401. Hume's Lesser Whitethroat — Sylvia altJiea, Hume. 



An adult female was shot in a row of Kikur bushes on some 

 open fields on September 29th, 



402. The Indian Lesser Whitethroat — Sylvia affinis (Blyth). 



A very common winter visitor to the district from about 

 September until the middle of April. It is extremely arboreal in 

 its habits, and may be most frequently observed creeping about 

 the branches of Kikur trees, searching for insects ; during the 

 season when this tree is in flower, many of the Whitethroats are 

 found to have their foreheads yellow with the pollen. 



407. The Brown Willow-Warbler — Phylloscopus tristis, Blyth. 



Observed not uncommonly during the first half of April. 



408. The Olivaceous Willow- Wai bier — Phylloscopus indieus (Jerd.).
