leave early in March. I shot a male in my garden in Quetta in November 

 1913. There are three specimens of this species in the MacMahon 

 Museum at Quetta. 



67. Passer domesticus. — The House Sparrow. [776]. 



Very common in Baluchistan at all seasons. It breeds in the eaves of 

 houses, in banks, and in trees, etc. I shot several specimens at Quetta at 

 different times of the year. There are two specimens of this species in the 

 MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



68. Passer Jiispaniolensis . — The Spanish Sparrow. [778]. 



I have never personally observed this species in Baluchistan, but was in- 

 formed by Mr. J. W. N. Gumming, Secretary, Baluchistan Natural History 

 Society, that he had obtained several specimens in Baluchistan near Quetta. 



69. Passer montanus. — The Tree-Sparrow. [779]. 



Common in Baluchistan at all seasons. It breeds in the eaves of houses, 

 in hollow trees, etc. I shot several specimens, at different seasons, in my 

 garden at Quetta. 



70. Petronia stulta. — The Rock Sparrow. [782]. 



I have not personally observed this species in Baluchistan, but it un- 

 doubtedly occurs in Baluchistan. There is one specimen of this species 

 in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



Emberizin^. 



71. Emberizaleucocejjhala. — The Pine Bunting. [792]. 



I occasionally observed this species in flocks in the Quetta Valley ' 

 during the winter months, but 1 never obtained any specimens. There 

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



72. Emberiza steioarti. — The White-capped Bunting. [793]. 



Common during the Summer months in the higher valleys of Baluchis- 

 tan. I found it common at Ziarat at 8,000 feet aud upwards in July and 

 June of 1912 and 1913, and found a nest with young birds in it in the 

 latter half of June. I obtamed a good male specimen on June 24th, 1912, 

 at Ziarat. 



73. Emberiza stracJieyi. — The Eastern Meadow Bunting. [794]. 



I have never observed this species myself in Baluchistan, but it 

 undoubtedly occurs there. In the MacMahon Museum at Quetta, there 

 is one specimen, said to be of this species. 



74. Emberiza buchanard. — The Grey-necked Bunting. [795]. 



I shot a male specimen of this species on August 21st 1913 at Samungh, 

 6 miles from Quetta. I never say any other specimens of this species, 

 but Marshall states that it is common in the hills in April. 



75. Embeiiza luteola. — ^The Red-headed Bunting. [800]. 



I saw several specimens of this species, early in July 1913, between Kach 

 and Ziarat, and have no doubt that it breeds in that locality. Marshall 

 states that he saw this species at Khelat. I think it is rather local in its 

 distribution, and I never observed it in the Quetta Valley. There is one 

 specimen of this species in the MacMahoia Museum at Quetta.
