In marked contrast to the abundance of this species in Simla 

 during the summer months I saw only a single individual at 6,500 

 ft. below Kasumpti on 6th November. Ticehurst however observed 

 it in October. 



The Pale Bush- Warbler, Hor cites pallidus, Brooks. 



Ticehurst observed two individuals in thick scrub near Fagoo 

 but the species had vanished before my arrival. 



The Siberian Chiff Chaff, Phylloscopus collyhita trMi&, Blyth. 



In October the Siberian Chiff Chaff was observed commonly on 

 the hill-sides about Fagoo, often singly in bushes, or in company 

 with other Phylloscopi. These birds however m.ust have been on 

 passage as I only definitely identified a single specimen, in the 

 ilex trees before the Dak Bungalow at Fagoo on JSTovember 22. 



Hume's Willow-Warbler, Phylloscopus liumei humei. Brooks. 



Ticehurstfound the autumn passage of this Warbler in full swing 

 as it was at the time of his visit the commonest of the Phylloscopi, 

 hunting in company with Tits and P. proreguhtS. These birds had 

 practically all vanished before my arrival though I noticed one or 

 two individuals still on Jakko up till November 7th. 



Brook's Willow- Warbler, Phylloscojjus subviridis, Brooks. 



Two specimens were obtained from a hunting party at 7,500 ft. 

 on the eastern side of Jakko on November 7th. 



Pallas' Willow- Warbler, Phylloscopus proregulus newtoni, Gatke. 



On my arrival in Simla this AVillow-Warbler was fairly common 

 in the hunting parties about 7,500 ft. on Jakko, but I did not with 

 certainty identify it at either Kufri or Fagoo ; here however 

 Ticehurst had found it fairly common in October. 



The Short-billed Minivet, Pericrocotus brevirostris, Vig. 



Ticehurst only observed a solitary individual at Fagoo, while I 

 saw a party of 3 females or young males tiy past the Dak bunga- 

 low at Fagoo on 18th November. 



The Common Mynah, Acridotheres tristis, (L). 



No change was observed in the status of this bird. 



The White-browed Blue Flycatcher, Muscicapa superciliaris, Jerd. 



Observedby Ticehurst in Simla, but it had moved down to lower 

 levels before my arrival. 



The Slaty-blue Flycatcher, Muscicapa leucomelanurus, Hodgs. 



One was obtained by Ticehurst at Fagoo from some bushes in a 

 nullah. It was tame and confiding and took much of its food 

 from the ground. 



The Orange-gorgetted Flycatcher, Muscicapa sirophiata. 



I obtained a male of this species from a hunting party of Tits 

 and other small birds in thick jitngle at 8,000 ft. near Kufri on 

 November 23rd. It was hawking about the inner boughs of the 

 trees exactly after the manner of Muscicapa par va parva.
