51. Ruticilla rufiventris. — The Indian Redstart. [644], 



Common in the Quetta Valley during the winter months, and like the 

 foregoing species, is found all over Baluchistan from October to March, 

 but in the higher valleys only in summer ; and it certainly breeds at 8,000 

 feet and upwards, as I saw young birds in nestling plumage at Ziarat in 

 June and July. There is one specimen in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



52. Cyanecula stiecica. — The Indian Blue-throat. [647]. 



Common in the Quetta Valley during the winter months. I saw one in 

 my garden as late as April 10th, but obtained no specimens. There are 

 three specim.ens of this species in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



53. Daulias golzi. — The Persian Nightingale. [649]. 



I only once observed one of these birds in the wild state, and that was in 

 my garden in Quetta in October 1913. These birds are frequently kept in 

 cages in the Quetta Bazaar by natives, as they are beautiful songsters. 

 These are all said to come from Kandahar. There is one specimen of this 

 species in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



54. Merula atrigularis. — The Black-throated Ousel. [677], 



Common in the Quetta Valley during the winter months, leaving in April 

 and not returning until November. It is often seen in flocks. I shot a male 

 specimen on January 22nd, 1912, in the Woodcock Spinney near Quetta. 

 There are two specimens of this species in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



55. Tetropliila cyanus. — The Western Blue-Rock Thrush. [693], 



Fairly common in the higher valleys of Baluchistan in summer. I observed 

 a good many, including birds in nestling plumage, between Kach and Ziarat 

 in June and July. Marshall records finding a nest with 4 fresh eggs in April. 

 There is one specimen of this species in the MaclMahon Museum at Quetta. 



56. Monticola saxatilis. — The Rock Thrush. [694]. 



I -have not personally observed this species in Baluchistan. Marshall 

 records shooting a female of this species in January and a male on 25th 

 April. There are two specimens said to be of this species in the MacMahon 

 Museum at Quetta. 



57. Turdus viscivorus. — The Missel Thrush. [695]. 



Fairly common in the Juniper Forest at Ziarat, at 8,000 feet and upwards 

 in summer, and I think it undoubtedly breeds there. T observed them fre- 

 quently in June and July. Comes down into the lower valleys in winter. 



58. TJiarrlmleus atrigularis. — The Black-throated Accentor. [716]. 



A winter visitant only, in Baluchistan, as far as the lower valleys are 

 concerned, though, I believe, I saw some at Ziarat in the summer ; but I am 

 uncertain of this, as I did not obtain any specimens there. I obtained a 

 male specimen in my garden at Quetta on November 23rd, 1913. There is 

 one specimen of this species in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 

 Marshall records shooting a specimen near Quetta in January.

59. Floceus onanyar. — The Streaked Weaver-Bird, [723]. 

 On July 17th, 1913, 1 saw a male and female of this species at Samungli, 

 4 miles west of Quetta, but having no gun with me at the time, I could
