124. $ . ,, „ 19th February. 
A winter visitor to Kohat and by far our commonest 
Bunting from the second week in October till April, occur¬ 
ring at all elevations and on all sorts of ground, though more 
commonly about cultivated places than elsewhere. On the 
Samana it quite takes the place of Passer domesticus in 
winter. It nests fairly commonly o*i the Safed Koh up to 
11,000 feet. 
[795.] Emberiza buchanani. The Grey-necked Bunting. 
Marshall, J. B. N. H. S. xiv. p. 604 (common in April 
near Quetta) ; Ward, op. cit. xvii. p. 485 (a rare spring 
migrant) ; Perreau, op. cit. xviii. p. 186 (Chitral). 
Not an uncommon species on the spring passage from the 
middle of April to the middle of May. It frequents stony 
ground covered with patches of scrub, usually singly or in 
pairs. On the autumn migration I only observed it once, 
viz. on the 16th of September. An example was forwarded 
from Bannu to the British Museum by Major Magrath.

534. £ . Kurram Valley, 6800 ft., 27th April. 
Passes through the District and up the Kurram Valley in 
force from mid-x4pril till mid-May, returning in August and 
September. Major Wardlaw-Ramsay found this species 
nesting in the Hariob Valley, which drains into the Kurram 
Valley just west of our limits.
