 good analysis of the forms whicli has yet been undertaken. treats it provisionally as a single species. Some of 

 the forms may perhaps be geographical races. but if so. their Separation is probably according to altitude. as

 to embrace all those of the N. W. Himalayas and ])erhaps some others; in fact the speeimen figured in \'ol. 4.
