So far as I can ascertain, by comparing notes with Dr. 

 Severtzoff himself, both these refer to true /. struthersi. The 

 only difference or doubtful question is the fact that /. stru- 

 thersi has the upper tail-coverts black, and in Dr. Severtzoff's 

 description the colour of these is not mentioned ; and as he 

 did not bring with him any of his specimens, we were unable 

 to decide this, though there is very little doubt as to the 

 Turkestan bird being really referable to 7. struthersi.
