black, and in the legs being shorter and stouter ; the tail too 



is more widely tipped with white, and the white is purer than 



in the Eastern race. It is said to occur in Kulu, and the 



N. W. of Karnaon ; also still further west up to Cashmere. 

 V r ol. II., p. 316, No. 676. — This is, writes Mr. Blyth, distinct from true 



Dendrocitta sinensis, and that naturalist suggests for it the 



name of Dendrocitta Himalayana, Blyth. 

 „ p. 372, No. 714. — This supposed species, Emberiza Stracheyi, 



Moore, must be suppressed, as it is simply the summer plumage 



of E. cia, 

 „ p. 403, No. 744. — Blyth' s Propasser frontalis, must also be aban 



doned, Mr. Blyth writes me, as it is the same as P. thura. 

 „ p. 422, No. 759. — Blyth writes me that this is probably 



Ammomanes pallida, Shrenberg. 



„ p, 427, No. 761, bis. — Melariocorypha torquata, Blyth. 



This fine Lark occurs, I am informed by Dr. Jameson, in large 

 flocks in the Punjab in the cold weather, extending into the 

 N. W. Provinces during February and March. Many are found 

 at this season near Saharunpore, and are killed for the table, 

 being equally good with the Bagheyri lark. 



„ p. 427.— Melanocorypha tartarica, (Pallas.) This bird 



was killed by Dr. Jameson within our limits at Gildoung, on 

 this side of the Niti pass. He saw many in scattered flocks. 



„ p. 517, No. 806. — The Kumaon species of Horned-pheasant, I 

 find, is Ceriornis satyra and not melanocephala, which ap- 

 parently does not extend farther east than Simla. 



„ p. 524, No. 808. — Blyth writes me that, apparently Pucrasia 

 Nipalensis is a good species, which must therefore be added 

 to the list of the birds of India, if not also P. castanea, which 

 probably occurs in the most western portion cf the Himalayas 

 within our limits.
