582 BIRDS FROM CENTRAL ASIA— BICHMOND. vol.xviii. 



lu regard to this specimen ^Ir. Brooks writes: "JSTo. 150425 is Acro- 

 ceplialiis agricola. It lias the small bastard primary of JLc>-ocej;//a/j<5. 

 None of the Rypolais in faded jjlumage would show so red. I have, 

 however, nothing to compare it with." Thanks to Mr. Brooks, we now 

 have three other examples of this species, and the determination of the 

 Abbott specimen is readily made. I was at first inclined to think it H. 

 obsolefa, but the specimens sent by Mr. Brooks, with his identification, 

 plainly show it to be A. agricola. The second i^rimary equals the sixth ; 

 third and fourth are about equal and longest; the spurious primary 

 extends about 0.05 inch beyond the inumary coverts. Wing, 2.17 inches ; 

 tail, 1.90; tarsus, 0.83; culmen, 0.43. 



55. PHYLLOPSEUSTES INDICUS (Jerdon). 



Male, adult, Tagdumbash Pamir, June 13, 1894 ; 13,000 feet. "Length, 

 4| inches." 



Female, adult, Tagdumbash Pamir, June 13, 1894; 13,000 feet. 

 "Length, 5 inches." 



The two specimens of this species do not differ from descriptions, 

 except in the absence of any ocliraceous or yellow wash on the rump, 

 which is similar to the back in color. This is probably accounted for 

 by the season of the year in which they were obtained. 



56. PHYLLOPSEUSTES HUMII (Brooks). 



Female, adult, near Suget, Eastern Tnrkestan, July 29, 1893. "Feet 

 fleshy brown ; upper mandible bhickish brown ; lower mandible dirty 

 yellowish brown; length, 4^ inches." "What the bird fades to in the 

 breeding season." — W. E. B. 



Male, adult, Tliian-Shan Mountains, north of Kashgar, September 

 15, 1893; 9,000 feet. "Bill brownish black, yellowish at base of lower 

 mandible; feet black, soles white; irides dark brown; length, 8^ inches." 

 "Good typical example in fresh autumnal plumage." — W. E. B. 



]\rr. Brooks has corrected me on the above specimens, and I ain now 

 satisfied that they are P. humii, as, identified by him, instead of P. 

 super ciUosus, with which I had doubtfully classed them. 



57. RHOPOPHILUS ALBOSUPERCILIARIS (Hume). 



Male, adult, junction of Aksu with Kashgar rivers, Eastern Turkes- 

 tan, November 29, 1893. "Bill black above, jjale below; irides brown; 

 feet pale brownish flesh color; length, 7f inches." 



Female, adult, Pishak Sindi, Kashgar Eiver, Eastern Turkestan, 

 December 12, 1893. "Length, 7 inches." 



Male, adult, Pishak Sindi, Kashgar Eiver, Eastern Turkestan, Decem- 

 ber 13, 1893. "Length, 7| inches."
