The following is a list of the papers chiefly referred to, all contributed to 

 the ' Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society' : — 

 Rattray, Colonel R. H. — Birds Collected and Observed at Thall. xii. pp. 337 



to 348 (1899). 

 Marshall, Capt. T. E. — Notes on the Birds near Quetta : Part I. xiv. pp. 601

 To obviate the inconvenience of looking up these papers I have added 

 references, and where possible the gist of the note. Attention is also drawn 

 to Capt. Perreaus. " Notes on the Bird of Chitral " xix (4) pp. 901-922 

 February 1910. It supplements Capt: Fulton's paper. 



My best thanks are due to Dr. Bowdler Sharpe and Mr. Charles Chubb for 

 much assistance in the identification of my skins, and to the former for very 

 kindly going through my notes and putting them into correct form in spite of 

 a great press of other work. Also to Dr. Hartert for going through the 

 series of Wagtail and Pipit-skins. Lastly, to Dr. Sclater, F.R.S., for most 

 kindly looking through the proofs and seeing the paper through the press. 



III.— List op Birds and Remarks. 



By Lieut. C. H. T. Whitehead. 



[1.] Corvus corax. The Raven. 



Rattray, J. B. N. H. S. xii. p. 337 (common round Thall) ; Marshall, op. cit. 

 xiv. p. 681 (the small race very common and resident at Quetta); Cumming, 

 op. cit. xvi. p. 686 (rare in Seistan) ; Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 108. 



Ravens of all sizes are very common in the cold weather, especially round 

 human habitations, the majority leaving in April or early in May, but I have 

 counted over 80 roosting together as late as the 18th of May near Kohat. 



A few, however, mostly smaller birds, are resident all the year round. 



[3.] Corvus corone. The Carrion -Crow. 



Cumming, J. B. N. H. S. xvi. p. 686 (common in winter in Seistan, and 

 of ten seen about houses) ; Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 108 (resident in Kashmir, 

 nesting between 8,000 and 10,000 ft.). 



505. $ ad. Kurram Valley, 5,800 ft., 19th April. 



I am not sure whether this species occurs in the plains or not. Major 

 Magrath has found it fairly common in winter in Bannu, so it probably does.
