118) as follows: —"A. nudipes, Hodgs., of which specimens 

 exist in the British Museum, appears distinct from A. glaux. 

 In the former the toes are feathered above to the base of the 

 claws. I do not think Hodgson's species has ever been de- 

 scribed/^ 



40. Syrnium aluco (L.) ; SevertzofF, p. 63. 

 Horizontal range. Is rare and may be sedentary in district 



III., and is met with sporadically on the Chatir-kul river. 

 Vertical range. May possibly be sedentary in district 3. 



41. Strix flammea (L.) ; SevertzofF, p. 63. 



Range the same as that of the preceding species, except that 

 it occurs sporadically in the mountains near the Aris river. 



42. Scops Giu (Scop.). 

 Ephialtes scops, SevertzofF, p. 63. 



Horizontal range. Is found during the breeding-season in 

 districts I., II., and III. j during migration, and possibly 

 breeds, in district IV.

 during the breeding-season in district 3. 



43. Bubo ignavus, Forst. 



Bubo maximus (var. B. turcomanus, Eversm.) , Severtzoff, 

 p. 63. 



Horizontal range. Resident in districts I., II., III., and IV. 



Vertical range. Resident in districts 1, 2, and 3. 



The species here referred to is evidently the pale eastern 

 form of the Eagle Owl described by Eversmann as Bubo sibi- 

 ricus, and which Mr. Blanford considers to be a distinct 

 species (r/. Zool. of Persia, Aves, p. 115), but which I only 

 regard as a variety of B. ignavus. 



44. Asio AcciPiTRiNus (Pall.). 

 ^golius brachyotus, Severtzoff, p. 63. 



Horizontal range. Common during migration in all four 

 districts, but very rare in the summer or winter. It has been 

 observed during the winter in district IV. 



Vertical range. Common during passage in districts 1, 2, 

 and 3.
