Major Magrath first observed a party of these Tits on a 
Peach-tree in his garden in April 1905. Since then we 
have met with the bird regularly from mid-March till 
mid-April in parties of from two or three to forty or 
more, chiefly frequenting Shisham trees, but also orchards 
and Camel-thorn scrub. The call-note resembles that of 
Zoster ops palpebrosa and is constantly uttered. 
Mr. T. B,. Bell, I.F.S., was the first to discover this 
species in India. He met with parties of it in February 1904 
in the tamarisk-acacia scrub-jungle near Sukkur, Sind,

p. 244).

Valleys down to 2500 ft., where I have met with parties as 
late as the 9th of April. 
Breeds freely in the Ilex-scrub near Peiwar from 6000 to 
8000 ft. Nesting-operations must commence towards the 
end of March, as a nest found on the 1st of May contained 
fully fledged young. The fabric is usually placed near the 
top of an Ilex-bush from three to seven feet above the ground. 
It is egg-shaped and rather like that of the British Long¬ 
tailed Tit, but a good deal smaller and not quite so neat.
