[544.] Temenxjchus pagodarum. The Black-headed

in Chitral at 5000 ft.); Rattray, t. c. p. 427 (rare in the 
Murree Hills) ; Ward, op. cit. p. 479 (occurs in Kashmir,

A summer visitor to the district. I have only twice met 
with this species, once on the 25th of August, when I 
observed about a dozen feeding in a garden in company 
with the Common Myna, and again a pair on the 4th of 
June. Mr. Donald, the Political Officer, however, tells me 
that a few pairs nest regularly every year near Hangu 
(2700 feet), usually selecting holes in the Boquain tree 
(Melia azedarach ) as nesting-sites.

Rattray, J. B. N. H. S.xii. p. 339 (common and resident) ;

to 8000 ft. in summer) ; Rattray, t. c. p. 427 (common

Major Magrath has found the bird fairly common in Bannu,
