LIST OF A COLLECTION OF BIRDS :\[ADE SOUTH OF THE 

 ISSIK-KUL IX RUSSIAN TURKESTAN. 



BY THE HON. WALTKR EOTHSCHILD. 



THIS collectiou was made by llie cullectors of Mr. Ixml. Tanciv in AiiUlam, in 

 the country iiamediately south of the Issik-Kul lake, mostly at higher 

 elevations in the southern Ala-tan or Terskei-tau ranges. The collectors were 

 juincipally beat on entomological collecting ; but their bird cullectiou is, 1 think, 

 sufficiently interesting to publish a list of it. 



1. Phasianiis brandti Hothsch. 



1 c? ad. January. This sjiecimeu has the white collar very widely interrupted 

 in front, and would therefore belong to scmitorijitatus Severt/., which, however, I 

 consider merely an aberration and not a geographical race of brainlii (cf. Bull. 

 B.O.V. November I'.H*! about the name hrnndti).
