84. Motacilla melanope. — The Grey Wagtail. [832]. 



I observed this species occasionally in the Quetta Valley in winter, but 

 obtained no specimens. I think it probably breeds in the higher valleys. 

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



85. Motacilla borealis. — The Grey-headed Wagtail. [833], 



I occasionally observed this species in the latter half of March and early 

 in April in the Quetta Valley, but obtained no specimens. There is one 

 specimen of this species in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta. 



86. Motacilla beema. — The Indian Blue-headed Wagtail. [835]. 



I have not personally observed this species, but there appears to be 

 no doubt that it visits Baluchistan during its winter migration. There is 

 one specimen in the MacMahon Museum, said to be of this species. 



87. Motacilla feldeggi.— The Black-headed Wagtail. [836]. 



I saw several specimens of this very handsome- and distinctly-coloured 

 little Wagtail near Tarin Shahr, about 2 miles north of Quetta, in 

 November 1912, and also in other localities in the Quetta Valley. This 

 species like several other Wagtails, only passes through Baluchistan in its 

 winter migration, and does not stay to breed. Those I saw in November 

 had very black heads, though Gates says the head is black in summer 

 plumage. 



88. Motacilla citreoloides. — Hodgson's Yellow-headed Wagtail. [838]. 



I frequently observed this species in the Quetta Valley during the win- 

 ter months, but especially in the months of migration, October and March, 

 I do not think it ever breeds in Baluchistan. I obtained two specimens, 

 shot by Major Marshall, Royal Garrison Artillery, in November 1912. It is 

 possible that Motacilla citreola may also pass through Baluchistan, but in 

 winter plumage it is difficult to distinguish it from M. citreolides. 



89. Antkus trivialis.~The Tree-Pipit. [840]. 



This species is occasionally to be seen in the Quetta Valley during the 

 winter months, but I do not think it is ever common anywhere in Baluchis- 

 tan, nor does it, I think, ever stay to breed there. 



90. Anthus similis, — The Brown Eock-Pipit. [844]. 



This species is common at Ziarat, at 8,000 feet and upwards in summer 

 and certainly breeds there. Marshall records finding a nest with young 

 birds on May 11th. I obtained no specimens, but several were shot in 

 1913, by Oapt. Meinertzhagen, Royal Fusiliers. I frequently saw this 

 species in the hills round Quetta, bvit never in the Quetta Valley itself. 

 It appears to migrate to lower elevations in winter, but of this I am not 

 quite certain. 



91. Anthus rosaceus. — H^odgson's Pipit. [850]. 



At Ziarat in June and July I frequently observed a Pipit, which I 

 believe to have seen this species, but as I obtained no specimens I was 

 unable to make certain of this. The birds, I saw, were certainly breeding 

 at about 9,000 feet. 



92. Anthus spinoletta. — The Water Pipit. [851]. 



I have not personally observed this species in Baluchistan, but I believe 

 it habitually passes through Baluchistan on migration. There are 2 speci- 

 mens, said to be of this species, in the MacMahon Museum at Quetta.
