The name Certhia scandulaca of Pallas was by that author meant to 

 cover the Common Creeper of Europe, and was by no means intended 

 as an appeUation specially distinctive of the Siberian white form. His 

 diagnosis is not inapplicable to the latter, however, and as Mr. Seebohm 

 has formally restricted the name given by Pallas to the form in ques- 

 tion, it seems available for our purpose, unless " Certhia longicauda 

 Brandt " should have the precedence. This name does not occur in 

 the Pulletin of the St. Petersburg Academy quoted by Iteichenbach, 

 and I have been entirely unsucccs.sful, so far, in hunting down the ref- 

 erence. 



It will be seen that 1 havcnotincluded Brook-s's Certhia hodcfsom, from 

 Cashmere,* in the above .synonymy, as i.s done by many European writers. 

 The principal character of this form is said by Mr. Brooks to be the 

 absence of the pale spot in the outer web of the fourth primary, a char- 

 acter afterwards verified by Mr. Hume in six specimens (Stray Feath., 



* Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, 1872 (p. 74) ; Stray Feath., Ill, 1875, p. 233, foot-note. See 

 also Brooks, Ibis, 1S84, p. 239.
