At page 145 he writes as follows : — " The sporadic occur- 

 rence of Cypselus melba is somewhat remarkable. I only ob- 

 tained one specimen in Karatau, on some rocks, and met with 

 it again about 300 versts to the south, in a small rocky chain 

 called Mogot-tau, near Chodjent ; but it has not been observed 

 between these two places, nor east of Karatau. Mr. Fed- 

 chanko, however, observed it in 1869 in Samarcand. It 

 breeds numerously near Boroldai, and a few pairs near Chod- 

 jent, as also in Samarcand. Specimens from Turkestan agree 

 closely with European examples."
