 got any from these localities, I cannot make out with full certainty if they belonged 

 to this or another proximal species. 



Round Sriracha, however, Chelidon rustica guUuralis Scop. was very common 

 at the end of April and in my collections there are some typical specimens shot at 

 this place.

72. Motacilla alba leucopsis Gould. — Along the small rivers and creeks, 

 which are so numerous in the northern hill districts, the White-faced Wagtail was 

 not uncommon during the winter months, but it seems to retire to its breeding pla-

 because I never observed a single specimen in the localities where I had found 

 them quite numerous before,
