7. Corvus sphnden,% Vieill. — The Indian House Crow. 



More plentiful than any of the foregoing. 

 0. Corvus monedida, Linn. — The Jackdaw. 



Occasionally seen passing over at considerable heights, often in 

 company with C. fnigiJegus, its well-known call first attracting 

 attention and then its smaller size and more pointed wing 

 distinguishing it from the latter.

Very common in the scrubby hills and nullahs of the " Kala 

 Chitta Reserve." Usually in pairs. 

 31. Pnrus atriceps, Horsf. — The Indian Grey Tit. 



VVherever there was a clump of trees (mostly leafless at this 

 season) a pair was almost certain to be seen.

 erythroceplmlus. Elevation 1,500 feet. 

 105. Argya cavdata, Dumeril. — The Common Babbler.

 obtained, which corresponds closely with birds from round Ambala,
