Procured by Colonel Biddulph on the return journey at Sonamarg on the 11th of July. 

 He writes to Mr. Hume : — " On our way up on the 12th of August we halted here for three 

 days on purpose to get this bird, as you had requested Stoliczka to do so ; but at that time 

 not one was to be seen." 



Dr. Henderson observes : — " This beautiful species was very common about the head of 

 the Sind Valley. It was met with on the roadside in June and in October, and was quite 

 tame and fearless. It associated in small flocks about six in number and flew from bush to 

 bush, feeding on berries. It was met with in no other locality. The elevation at which it 

 occurred was from about 7000 to 8000 feet."
