half of those breeding were in full plumage. The remainder were of two 

 forms : — 



(1) Grey above, with black feathers here and there ; supercilium and 

 under surface yellowish-white. 



(2) Dark grey above with some black feathers ; head and under surface 

 deep yellow, sullied on the flanks and crown. 



I have sent two examples, namely a nesting pair, the male of type (2) 

 and the female of type (1), to the British Museum. 

 [840.] Anthus trivialis. The Tree-Pipit. 



Marshall, J. B. N. H. S. xiv. p. 605 (common near Quetta in winter) ; 

 Fulton, op. cit. xvi. p. 56 (a few resident between 5,000 and 10,000 feet) ; 

 Betham, t. c. p. 832 (found two nests near Quetta in June). 

 712. $ ad. Kohat, 1,760 ft., 19th March. 



Large numbers pass through Kohat and the Kurram Valley from mid- 

 March till mid-May, returning in August, September, and October, but 

 comparatively few halting. 



[840a.] Anthus pratensis. The Meadow-Pipit. 

 708. 2 ad. Kohat, 1,760 ft., 19th March. 



Major Magrath was the first to meet with this species in N. W. India, 

 and in January and February 1908 secured four examples at Bannu. I 

 only met with one at Kohat, but possibly it has been overlooked, owing 

 to its resemblance to A. trivialis. 



[844.] Anthus similis. The Brown Rock-Pipit. 



Marshall, J. B. N. H. S. xiv. p. 605 (summer visitor) ; Ward, op. cit. xvii. 

 p. 723 (occurs : Kashmir) ; Perreau, op. cit. xviii. p. 186 (specimen shot : 

 Chitral). 



566. J . Kohat, 1,760 ft., 6th February.

743. S ad. „ • „ 27th March. 



A common resident in the District, nesting on the Samana in summer, 

 and occurring from August till April along the foot of the hills and on stony 

 ground generally. From January till the end of March it is also found 

 commonly about cultivated lands. It perches readily in trees. It varies 

 a good deal in size and colour. In February 1908 there were flocks of 

 peculiarly dusky individuals on the grass-farm. Nos. 566 and 569 are 

 examples of this dark-coloured Pipit. 



[845.] Anthus richardi. Richard's Pipit. 



61. $ ad. Kohat, 1,760 ft., 4th January. 

 582. S ad. „ „ 14th February. 



A rare winter visitor, these being the only examples met with. Both 

 were procured on the grass-farm. 

 [847.] Anthus rufulus. The Indian Pipit.
