Birds of Ko hat and Karr am. 215 
[567.] Cyornis leucomelanurus. The Slaty-blue Fly¬ 
catcher. 
Ward, J. B. N. H. S. xvii. p. 480 (very plentiful in 
Kashmir). 
627. £ ad. Kohat, 1850 ft., 1st March. 
This solitary example was the only one met with. Its 
alarm-note ( tit-it-it) attracted my attention. 
[568.] Cyornis superciliaris. The White-browed Blue 
Flycatcher. 
Battray, J. B. N. H. S. xvi. p. 427 (common in Murree 
Hills) j Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 480 (plentiful). 
528. £ ad. Kurram Valley, 7500 ft., 24th April. 
A rare bird. I shot one near Kohat on the 13th of April, 
and this was the only example seen in the plains. A second 
1 got near the Peiwar Kotal, and believe that I heard one or 
two more close by. 
\_Calicicapa ceylonensis (Sw.). Major Magrath shot an 
example of this species, which is now in the National 
Collection, in Bannu, in October, and has since found it a 
fairly common winter visitor.] 
[589.] Alseonax rueicaudus. The Bufous-tailed Fly¬ 
catcher. 
Fulton, J. B. N. H. S. xvi. p. 50 (shot two in April); 
Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 480 (breeds at high altitudes in 
Kashmir), 
Abundant in summer on the Peiwar Spur, and in the 
Spin Khwar Nullah of the Safed Koh, from 8000 to 
11,000 feet. As Major Magrath has pointed out, it is quite 
likely that this species occurs in Kohat in winter, but, from 
its remarkable likeness to the female Ruticilla rufiveniris , 
has been overlooked. It may be distinguished from the 
latter by its not shaking its tail. It is a good songster with 
a great variety of notes. 
[598.] Terpsiphone paradisi. The Indian Paradise- 
Flycatcher. 
Marshall, J. B. N. H. S. xiv. p. 606 (shot one in May 
near Quetta); Fulton, op. cit. xvi. p. 50 (an uncommon
