19. Passer moabiticus yatii, Sharpe. 
9. No. 24714; Nad-i-Ali on the Helmand, 13-3.03. 
This specimen is not in adult plumage and has very little yel- 
low on the lower plumage but is almost certainly of this race of the 
Palestine Sparrow. 
20. Motacilla alba personata, Gould. (829).

Gs (23°25 482> = E3128: 
Of the three specimens the first is in full summer plumage, 
the two others in winter plumage. [Very common in the desert, 
and at the edge of the Hamun in December, N.A.] 
21. Alaemon alaudipes pallida (Blyth). (854). 
1905. Alaemon desertorum, Cumming, op. cit., p. 688. 
@. No. 24871; Kuhak, 21.9.04. 
Though marked ‘‘ male” this is probably a female and even 
for that sex is an unusually small one, wing 126, bill from front 
25 mm. ‘This is considerably below normal measurements which 
are (vide Hartert) #7, wing 138-141 mm., ? , 128-130 mm. Larger 
series of pallida, Blyth and desertorum (Stone) might possibly 
prove that they are divisible but at present most ornithologists 
lump them together. 
22. Galerida cristata? magna, Hume. (874).

These birds are very small both having a wing of 106 mm., 
whilst Hartert gives the minimum for this sub-species as Ilo mm; 
on the other hand he gives the maximum for chendoola, the common 
Indian form, as 105 mm. As a matter of fact throughout the 
intervening country between the Northern and Southern areas the 
birds are intermediate both in size and general appearance. 
23. Ammomanes deserti-iranica (Hartert). (878). 
1905. Ammomanes phoentcuroides, Cumming, op. cit., p. 63¢ 
@. No. 24873; Khwaja Ahmed, 24. 4. 05. 
‘Quite a typical specimen.
