the 21st June I shot a young bird just fledged near the 
Peiwar Kotul. The iris of this species is brown; maxilla 
black, as also the margin and poimt of the mandible, the 
remainder of which is whitish horny; legs brownish green.

The Hoopoe was not very common. It was breeding in 
June. 
(257). Lanius prytHRONOTUs (Vigors). 
Very common. I found a great many nests in May and 
June. The first (27th May) was situated in the centre of a 
dense thorny creeper, and contained six eggs, white, faimtly 
washed with pale green, and spotted and blotched with pur- 
plish stone-colour and pale brown. The nest was composed 
of green grass, moss, cotton-wool, thistle-down, rags, cow’s 
hair, mule’s hair, shreds of juniper bark, &c. &c. Other 
nests were found in willows by the river-bank and in apricot- 
trees. In a large orchard at Shalofzan, in the Kurrum val- 
ley, I found three nests within a few yards of one another. 
(260) Lanrus virrarus (Valenc.). 
Once or twice observed. 
(273) Prricrocorus BREVIROSTRIS, Vigors. 
Common.

apud Wardl.-Rams., Ibis, 1879, p. 447. 
This King-Crow is extremely common to the very base of 
the Peiwar Kotul, but is apparently very scarce in the higher 
valley of Hariab. It was especially abundant in the orchards 
at Shalofzan, in the Kurrum valley, in June, where it was 
apparently breeding ; but I did not find the nest. 
(288) Muscreeta PARADISI. 
Muscicapa paradisi, Linn. Syst. Nat. 1. p. 107. 
The Indian Paradise Flycatcher is not found, as far as I 
know, in the Hariab valley; but among the orchards at 
Shalofzan, in the Kurrum valley, it is especially abundant.
