Hah. Southern and Central Europe, not extending into Scandi- 

 navia or Northern Europe, wintering in the countries bordering the 

 Mediterranean. Eastward its range extends to the Altai Mountains 

 and Turkestan as well as the high ranges of Persia and Baluchistan, 

 wintering in Afghanistan. A smaller race, named A. hlalcistoni, 

 breeds in Eastern Siberia and China, wintering in the latter country 

 as well as in Scinde and North-western India. Mr.. Seebohm has 

 taken the measurements of an extensive series, and finds that the 

 length of wing in European examples varies from 3*6 down to 3'3 

 inches, and the length of the tail from 2-S5 down to 2-55 inches. 

 Indian birds {A. hlal-istoni) have the wing 3*4 inches to 3*1 inches, 

 and the tail from 2- 65 to 2*45 inches.
