 Accentor fulvescens , SevertzoflP, pp. 66, 132. 

 Horizontal range. Is found in winter in districts I., II., 



and III., and breeds in districts I. and II. 



Vertical range. Occurs in winter in districts 2 and 3 — rarely, 

 however, in the former ; breeds in district 4, and possibly in 

 district 5, as it is found there in summer. 



Dr. Severtzoff^s description of this bird suits closely my 

 specimens of A. montanellus, and I should say that the 

 species found by him must be this ; but not having compared 

 examples from Turkestan, I cannot speak with certainty, 

 as there may possibly be some trifling diflference in the 

 Turkestan bird.

Dr. Severtzoff states that the present species somewhat 

 resembles Accentor alpinus, being its representative in Central 

 Asia. He describes it as follows : — '' Crown, nape, cheeks, 

 sides and back of the neck, and fore and hind parts of the 

 back greyish brown with an olive tinge ; centre of the back, 

 scapulars, and wings blackish, with rust- coloured edges ; tail- 

 feathers, except the central ones, with white ends on the inside 

 of the feathers ; throat white, with a narrow black stripe 

 below ; the sides marked with black spots ; below the black 

 stripe is a brownish bar across ; rest of the underparts rust- 

 coloured, with broad white edges; centre of the abdomen white; 

 1 st primary very short, 4>3>2>5, or 2 = 3 = 4; central rec- 

 trices 1^'" shorter than the outer ones. Male — total length 

 7", extent 11", wing 3" 7'", tail 2" 4'", tarsus 9'", middle toe
