" It inhabits the Carabuzinsk Mountains to the south of 

 the Aulje-ata, where it was found in June, and also in Au- 

 gust in the Djamandavansk Mountains, between Narin and 

 Arpa. It frequents the rocks, and is rare, being, moreover, 

 most difficult to distinguish as it skulks about amongst the 

 rocks. It most nearly resembles Passer petronia."

Severtzoff writes (p. 116) as follows : — " In Turkestan there 

 are two forms or varieties of the Brambling, viz. : — a, which 

 has a light spot on the hind neck, this spot being white in the 

 male and grey in the female ; b, in which the hind neck is 

 dark-coloured. Otherwise both forms precisely resemble the 

 European bird."
