[ plaze these birds provisionally under this name, but their 
position is very doubtful, as is often the case with many migrant 
specimens of Pratincola. They are typically large birds, the males 
having wings over 72mm. and the females between 67 and 69 mm. 
This is an extremely common breeding bird over the whole of the 
Himalayas and northern Burmese hills, and from the huge mass of 
inaterial in the British Museum of migratory birds in India, Burma 
ani China it is easy to pick out series which would agree with any 
one of the three forms supposed to come within these limits. In 
spite of their large size, the white on the sides of the neck and on 
the breast is very extensive, and the under parts seem very pale 
when compared with typical przwalshie.
