Severtzoff's 'Fauna of Turkestan.' 337 



118. ?Saxicola leucopycxA, Br. 



Saxicola syenitica, Heugl. ; Sever tzoff, p. 65. 



Horizontal range. Is a rare straggler during summer in 

 district III., but breeds in district IV, 



Vertical range. Occurs rarely daring tlie summer in district 

 1, and breeds in districts 2 and 3. 



It is impossible to state with any degree of certainty what 

 species of Chat it is to which SevertzojBP here refers, as he 

 gives no description of it, and merely refers to it under the 

 name of S. syenitica, Heugl., which is a doubtful species, pro- 

 bably identical with S. leucopyga, under which I have accord- 

 ingly placed it, with a query. 



119. Saxicola deserti, Riipp. 



Saxicola salina, Eversm. ; SevertzoflF. p. 65. 

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

 Vertical range. Breeds iu district 1, and occurs during pas- 

 sage in districts 2, 3, 4, and 5, but is rare in the last district. 



119 y8. Saxicola xanthomel^na, Severtzoff, p. 65, 

 is probably referable to S. melanoleuca; but the description of 

 it given by Severtzoff is too indefinite to enable one to say what 

 it is. He merely states (p. 120) that it differs from S. deserti 

 in having less black on the tail, which is the case with all 

 other allied Chats. He gives the range as follows : — 



Horizontal range. Breeds in district III. 



Vertical range. Breeds in district 1. 



120. Pratincola rubetra (L.); Severtzoff, p. 65. 

 Horizontal range. Breeds and is met with during passage 



in districts I., II., and III. 



Vertical range. Occurs during passage in district 1, and 

 breeds in districts 2, 3, and 4. 



121. Pratincola rubicola (L.); Severtzoff, p. 65. 

 Horizontal range. Breeds and occurs during passage in dis- 

 tricts I., II., III., and IV. 



Vertical range. Is found during migration in districts I 

 and 2, and breeds in districts 3 and 4. 



Severtzoff refers to Pratincola indica yS, as a subspecies
