Saxicola isabellina Cretzschm. 



Four specimens, an adult male and three youngish examples, 

 Tchegan-Burgazi Pass. July 7 to July 15. This much more robust 

 species was found in the same regions with oenanthe but was very 

 rare comparatively. 



Saxicola deserti albifrons Brandt. 

 Two adult males, Chuisaya Steppe, July 28. 



SYLVIIDAE. 



Anteliocichla agricola agricola (Jerdon). 

 One adult female, Topucha, August 5. 



Sylvia curruca affinis Blyth. 

 One adult female, Topucha, August 8. 



Phylloscopus collybita abietina (Nilsson). 



Thirteen specimens, adults of both sexes, Tchegan-Burgazi Pass 

 and Topucha, July 1 to August 9. Examples were taken in the 

 scattering larches up to 8,650 feet. 



LANIIDAE. 



Lanius crist atus phoenicuroides (Schalow). 

 Two males, neither quite adult, Topucha, August 8 and 9. 



PARIDAE. 

 Poecile cinctus sayana Suschkin. 



Two adults, male and female, taken at Topucha, August 7 and 8. 

 These two birds were in much abraded plumage and the color char- 

 acters are therefore not very obvious, but the large bill is noticeably 

 different from that of P. c. cinctus (Boddaert) or P. c. obtcctus Cabanis..
