Hah. Eastern Siberia ; Japan. 



Bubsp. j3. Accentor rufilatus. 

 Accentor rufilatus, Severtz. 



Intermediate between A. coUaris and A. 7upalensis, having the 

 pale coloration of the former and the uniform rufous flanks of the 

 latter, though the rufous is very much paler. Total length 6-6 

 inches, culmen 0-6, wing 3-9, tail 2-5, tarsus O-b*. 



Hah. Turkestan. 



Ohs. The description and measurements are from a specimen in 

 Mr. Seebohm's collection. He received it from Dr. Severtzoff, by 

 whom it is marked '■'■A. rufilatus ; " but whether this name has ever 

 been published I have been unable to find out. The Gilgit bird is 

 certainly the same as the Turkestan race ; and a specimen from the 

 North-west Himalayas is only slightly darker, leading on to the 

 true A. nipalensis. 



Hah. From Turkestan to the neighbourhood of Gilgit and 

 Northern Cashmere.
