The Indian Redstart — Ruticilla rvfiventris. 



Uncommon. Seen occasionally in winter near the foot of the snowy 

 range at 6,000 feet. Probably breeds at higher elevations. 

 The Plumbeous Redstart — Rhyacornis fuliginosus. 



Resident on the range. Common about all the streams. A local 

 migrant. Moves up and down the slope in accordance with the change 

 of season. In winter remains low down on the range between 4,000 and 

 7,000 feet. In summer ascends to a higher zone between 6,000 and 10,500 

 feet. 

 The Golden Bush-Robin — Tarsiger chrysmus. 



Uncommon. Met with from time to time in winter between 4,000 and 

 6,000 feet. I expect a permanent resident that moves up and down the 

 slope with the change of season. Not seen in summer, but probably retires 

 to high altitudes on the range. 

 The Red-flanked Bush-Robin — Janthia rufilata 



Common in winter. Resident. Often selects some special site in the 

 forest where it may always be found. A local migrant that ascends and 

 descends the slope in accordance with the change of season. In winter 

 remains in a low zone between 4,000 and 6,500 feet. In summer retires to 

 a loftier zone between 7,000 and 11,000 feet. 

 The Blue-headed Robin — Adelura caruleicephala. 



A common and permanent resident. A local migrant. Moves freely 

 with the change of season. In winter occupies a low zone between 4,000 

 and 7,000 feet, though an odd straggler may ascend to 9,000 feet. In 

 summer retires to a loftier zone between 7,000 and 11,000 feet, where 

 many of the birds may be found almost at the extreme limit of the trees. 

 Hodgson's Grandala — Grandala coslicolor. 



Very rare. Seen on one occasion only ; near the head of the Keytal 

 nuUah in winter at a height of 7,400 feet. Though this bird is said to be 

 insectivorous I found it feeding on a mountain fern. Mr. Whistler tells 

 me that this species has not hitherto been recorded within Punjab limits.

Very common. Resident. A bird of the vaUey and the foot-hills. Not

This blackbird was met with only once ; in May on the main range at 

 9,300 feet. 

 The White-collared Ouzel — Merula albicincta. 



Uncommon. Resident. A bird of considerable altitudes. Moves up 

 and down the slope in accordance with the change of season. In winter 

 descends to 6,000 feet. In summer ascends to near tree-limit where I have 

 seen it amidst the rhododendron scrub between 9,000 and 11,000 feet. 

 The Grey-headed Ouzel — Merula castanea. 



A common and widespread resident. Not seen here to associate in 

 flocks. A local migrant. Moves up and down the slope in accordance with
