 Mr A. Graham Young has taken it in the Kulu Valley, I met with it m August below 

 Kotgarh, fifty miles north of Simla, and Mr. Templeton has taken it in Masu.^ It is comrnon

 than those of the female ; head and neck often marked with small white spots Head, 

 moderately large, with a frontal tuft nearly reaching to the tip of the second joint of the

 the head, ascending obliquely, but scarcely elevated above the level of the middle of 

 tie yes rather flattened beneath, scaly; the scales lying flat except at the base, beneath 

 which thLy are slightly elongated, and also near the middle of the upperside of the second 

 Toh t where there is an efongated tuft of white scales, and another near the tip withm, which 

 causes the apical joint to be as wide apart as the space between the eyes ; the termina
