66. Pratincola indica, Blyth. 



The Siberian Stonecliat was seen frequently in August in 

 all pa^'ts of the Pamir. It probably breeds there. The dif- 

 ference between this species and P. ruhicola was confirmed 

 and found constant in more than three hundred specimens. 



Of! . TURDUS MYSTACINUS, Scv."^ 



This Thrush passes through the Pamir in October. 



68. LaNIUS ISABELLINUS^ Ehr. 



The Isabclline Shrike is rarely seen on the Pamir, and then 

 only during migration. Two young specimens were obtained, 

 one on the 8th August in the gorge of Kisil-art, the other 

 on the 12th September near the river Aksu, in the inner 

 Pamir. 



69. MuscicAPA GRisoLA (Linn.). 



The Spotted Flycatcher is frequent in all parts of the Panjir 

 in August during migration.

Swallows appear towards the end of August, and pass 

 through uninterruptedly till the end of September. When 

 the weather on the Pamir is bad Swallows return to Gulcha 

 along the Kurshab river, and, flying over the mountain-passes, 

 appear on the roads near Osh in Ferghana. Probably these 

 are young birds seeking the way to their winter quarters. 

 One of these birds flew into a traveller's sledge in the 

 Zaalai chain in the middle of September 1878. It followed 

 his baggage-train daily, and at night sought shelter in 

 the sledge, as far as the Taldit pass. Three others joined it 

 en route. 



71. Chelidon urbica (Linn.). 



Martins were observed migrating in small parties through 

 Pamir in the latter part of August. 



72. COTILE RUPESTRIS, Scop. 



The Crag-Martin was seen on migration, like the last, late 

 in August. Families of these birds were seen in July near
