birds. From these it differs only in being very slightly 

 smaller (wing 10"5 inches), and in having fewer (only two or 

 three) whitish-buff spots on the shorter outer scapulars, while 

 the pale markings on the inner Avebs of the outer primary- 

 quills are indistinct or absent. The differences are, however, 

 very slight and possibly merely individual. /S. nivicola is 

 known to range from the Himalaya to North-western China.

Dr. Moltrecht has forwarded an adult male of this species 

 which is exactly similar to the type-specimen procured by 

 Swinhoe. So far as I am aware, the female has never been 

 sent to England, and the male is apparently difficult to 

 procure.
