A young bird in autumn plumage was procured on the 19tli of September. , y 
Dr. Stoliczka states that this species was not common near Pasrobat on the 13th ot - 
and from Chehil Gumbar lie writes : — “ P. indicus prefers feeding about rocks instead 0 
bushes, as Jerdon observes. It has a peculiar short shrill call.” Again, from f )Ll | )a , . 
observes : — “ The call of P. indicus , which is common all along, is a deep whistling c . g 
chip,’ three or four times repeated. At first the call resembles that of a Kestrel, an 
almost as loud.” j

it common in the valleys of Kizilyart Mountains, at elevations of from 9000-10,000 f ee ;) ’
