Turdus viscivorus— The Missel-Thrush. — Very common in the hills round 

 Quetta in the cold weather. I saw a fair number at Ziarat in May at about 

 9,0(i0 feet so it may breed. 



Tharrhaleus atrigularis — Black-throated Accentor.- — I shot one out cf a 

 small flock near Quetta in January, I do not think it is common here. 



Coccothra" stes humii — Hume's Hawfinch. — This, I think, must be the haw- 

 finch that frequents these parts. It is more or less resident, but is commoner 

 a good deal in summer than winter. I believe it breeds here, as I have seen 

 young birds that had been taken from the nest: it has a very pleasant 

 song. 



Pycnorhamjms carneipes — Wbite-winyed Grosbeak. — A fair number in the 

 hills in the cold weather near Quetta. Very common at Ziarat in May, 

 feeding in flocks on the juniper berries. 



Propasser ^rfmt^^s— Ked-maiitled Eose-finch. — I shot one at Ziarat in May 

 about 9,000 feet, and saw others, 



Carpodacus erythrinus— Common Rose-finch. — 'Common at Ziarat in May. 

 Generally to be seen in small parties at certain places in the hills near 

 Quetta in April. 



Carduelis caniceps — Himalayan Gold-finch, — I do not think?that this bird 

 is common near Quetta, I saw one that was caught out of a small flock in 

 January, and also a pair in the hills in April. 



Metoponia p«<s?7Za — Gold-fronted Finch. — This bird is common in places 

 in the hills near Quetta. I have seen flocks of them in September, also in 

 April, probably migrating. 



Passer domesticus — House Sparrow. — Very common in summer. Arrives 

 about middle of April, breeds : leaves entirely in the colH weather. 



Passer montanus — Tree Sparrow, — Very common, resident throughout the 

 year, breeds about April, and onwards, 



Emberiza leucocephala — Pine-Bunting. — Common in large flocks round 

 Quetta in December and January and part of February, 



Emberiza stewarti — White-capped Bunting, — This bunting is common in 

 the hills in summer, arriving in about end of April, I have no doubt that it 

 breeds, as I have often seen them in pairs in June, but I have not found 

 the nest. 



Emberiza buchanani — Grey-necked Bunting. — Common in the hills in 

 April. I have not seen them earlier than end of March, or later than May. 



Emberiza luteola — "Red-headed Bunting. — I have not seen these birds 

 nearer Quetta than JCalat, wbicb is about 40 miles N.-E., about 7,000 feet. 

 There were a few there in May, one pair I think were breeding on May 

 .SOth, but I had no time to look for the nest. 



Emberiza striolata — Stiiolated Bunting. — Not rar." in the summer in the 

 hills, probably breeds as I have seen them abciut at the end of June. 



Chelidon nrbiea — The Martin, — There are always some of these birds 

 about in May. but I am not sure whether they are C. urbica or C. Kaslimi-
