Dr. Stoliczka states that the Rock-Martin was common near Pasrobat, and was 
rently going to breed in the neighbourhood. ganj u ’ 
It was often seen by Dr. Henderson, who states that it was not uncommon near 
and was met with both on going and returning on the banks of the Indus near Leh, an 
numerous about Dras. _ p^tei' 11 
Dr. Scully gives the following note : — “ This Crag-Martin was first observed m 
Turkestan in August, between Sanju and Kizil Aghil. After that it was seen evel y v . a tef 
along the Arpalak stream and the Karakasli river. It flew about hunting over the 
and perched on the high rocks near the streams. At Kizil Aghil I was informed 
inhabitants that this bird left them when the leaves fell off the trees, and reapp c£U ’ e c j e fts 
in spring when the trees began to blossom ; they said that the nests were placed w 1 j a j n 
of rocks near the river. The Turld name for this species is ‘ Tagli Karlogliach ’ — ‘ 
Swallow and I need scarcely add that it was never seen in the plains.”
