Tris red-brown ; bill black; legs dark brown. 
This is by far the commonest Tit in the pine-forests, and 
has all the habits of a true Parus. It was breeding in May 
and June; but I did not obtain its eggs. The only two nests 
found contained young birds. 
(640) LopHoPHANES RUFONUCHALIS, Blyth. 
This species is by no means so abundant as the last, with 
which it often associates, but still may be called common. 
It was breeding in May. The Lophophanes beavani of my 
last paper (Ibis, 1879, pp. 445, 448) is this bird. 
I have observed it up to 10,000 feet on the Safed-Koh. 
Tris bright brown ; bill black ; legs slate-colour. 
Mr. Hume has pointed out (Lah. to Yark. p. 229) an 
apparent error in Dr. Jerdon’s description of this bird. Dr. 
Jerdon, however, appears to have copied the words “ with a 
rufous tinge on the back and belly” from Blyth’s original 
description (J. A.S. B. xvii. p. 810). 
It is certain thst no such tinge is observable in my Afghan 
birds, nor in any of my Himalayan or Kashmir examples, of 
L. rufonuchalis, presuming that Mr. Hume and I are right 
in our identifications. 
(645) Parus cinereus, Vieillot. 
The Grey Tit was very common and was breeding in May 
and June. 
(660) Corvus CULMINATUS. : 
Corvus culminatus, Sykes, P. Z.S. 1832, p. 96; Sharpe, 
Cat. B. im. p. 20. 
This is the only Crow observed in the Hariab valley, and 
it is very abundant there. It was nesting in the pine trees 
near our camp at Byan Kheyl in May. In the Kurrum 
valley, in fact, immediately you arrive at the foot of the 
eastern slope of the Peiwar Kotul, you find a Raven (Corvus 
corax, Linn., vel lawrencei, Hume) and the common Indian 
Crow (C. splendens, Vieill.), both common. 
Bill from gape 2-2 inches.
