 men also sent."

42. CALANDRELLA TIBETANA ACUTIROSTRIS (Hume). 



Male, adult, Suget, Eastern Turkestan, July oO, 189.3; 13,000 feet. 

 "Bill dull yellow, black on culmen and tip; irides dark brown; feet 

 pale brownish flesh; length, G^ inclies." 



Female, young, Suget, Eastern Turkestan, July 30, 1893; 13,000 feet. 

 "Bill dirty yellowish brown; feet ijale yellowish flesh color; irides 

 brown." 



The above specimens are referred with some hesitation to this form. 

 The adult possesses a very slender bill, and in this respect difters 

 markedly from three birds taken in the Pamir, and recorded under the 

 preceding species, and from three Ladak examples, but the pattern on 

 the outer tail feather does not meet the requirements of acutirostris as 

 laid down by Dr. Sharpe,^ the white on the inner web being fully as 

 extensive as shown in G. tlhetanaj and this is also the case in the young 

 bird from the same locality. 



43. ALAUDULA PISPOLETTA SEEBOHMI (Sharpe). 



Female, adult, Thiau-Shan Mountains, north of Kashgar, September 

 10, 1893; 6,000 feet. " Length, GJ inches." 



Female, adult, Karatol, 35 miles south of Aksu, Eastern Turkestan, 

 JSTovember 26, 1893. 



The specimens here recorded appear to be referable to this form, but, 

 having no specimens to compare them with, I am obliged to rely upon 

 Dr. Sharpe's description, which is very brief and consists mostly of a 

 comparison with other forms which I have not at hand. The measure- 

 ments given by him are not referred to either sex, but may be those of 

 the male, as my specimens are considerably smaller.
