The Eastern Meadow-Bnntinp-, Emberiza cia siracheyi, Moore. 



As before this was the most abundant species on the hill-sides. 

 It is distinctly pugnacious. 



The Crag-Martin, Ripiiia nij}e>i)i>>, Scop. 



Only a few odd birds were observed about Fagoo in October 

 although at that time the Crag Martin was common along the 

 road near Sanjouli. In November I saw none near Simla itself 

 bat found a good ;nany about Fagoo ; here it was rather erratic 

 in its appearance; some days none would be seen or only an 

 occasional individual ; on others distinct iiights would be hawking 

 about a particular locality. It is possible that the explanation 

 of this is that the species was passing through on migration, a 

 suggestion that is rendered all the more probable by the fact 

 tliat 3 specimens shot on November 22nd were all very fat. 



The Martin, Chelidon urhica, subsp. ? 



One or two House Martins were observed hawking about the 

 Kufri ridge on November 13th, but as no specimens were pro- 

 cured the exact race must remain in doubt. 



The Striated Swallow, Hinindo rufula, subsp. ? 



On 2nd Noveniber from the train I observed a large flock of 

 Swallows, apparently of this type, and clearly on migration, on 

 the telegraph wires near Solon Brewery. 



The Upland Pipit, Oreocorys sylvanus, Hodgs. 



On November 6th [ heard what I feel sure was the song of 

 this Pipit at 6,500 feet, below Kasumpti, on the slopes where I 

 have met the bird in previous siunmers. 



The Tree-Pipit, Anthus trivialis irivialis, L. 



Ticehurst met with a few odd Tree-Pipits on different days in 

 cultivation at Fagoo in October. 



The Indian Tree-Pipit, Anthus trivialis maculatus, Hodgs. 



Ticehurst obtained one from damp sallow undergrowth at 

 Kufri on October 21st. 



The Brown Rock-Pipit, Anthus leucophrys jerdoni, Finsch. 



A single bird was seen by Ticehurst on October 15th at Fagoo, 



The Water-Pipit, AntJius spinoletta hlakistoni, Swinh. 



From November 15th onward a large flock of Water Pipits was 

 frequenting the ground described under the paragraph regard- 

 ing the West Himalayan Skylark. They were very restless and 

 rather shy, spending much of their time on the dry terraced hill 

 side above the pond. The only specimens procured were imma- 

 ture but there need be no hesitation in attributing them to this 

 race, which is very common throughout the Punjab plains in 

 winter, and with specimens of which they closely agree. 



The White Wagtail, Motacilla alba, subsp. ? 



A party of 3 Wagtails of this type were seen passing over at 

 Fagoo on October 15th.
