82 On the Birds of the Pamir Range. 



34. Coracias garrula*. 42. ^gialitis fluviatilis. 



35. Columba rupestrist (P). 43. Totanus glottis (P). 



36. Caccabis chukar. 44. calidris (P). 



37. Tetraogallus tibetanus. 45. ocbropus (P). 



38. himalayanus (P). 46. Actitis bypoleucus (P). 



39. Crex porzanaj. 47. Querquedula crecca (P). 



40. Gallinago solitaria. 48. Sterna fluviatilis (P). 



41. Ardea ciuerea (P). 



All the above are common to the Pamir and Tian-shan, 

 except Podoces humilis and Leucosticte hcematopygia (which 

 is replaced by my L.pamirensis) . About Montifrbigilla adamsi 

 and Megaloperdix tibetana my observations were not con- 

 clusive. The remaining 44 are all found in Turkestan. 



A more complete catalogue could now be compiled for 

 Western Tibet by adding to the above list those of Drs. Hen- 

 derson and Stoliczka and Capt. Biddulph ; but this would 

 scarcely make any change in the above given brief general idea 

 of the ornithological afiinity between West Tibet^ the Pamir, 

 and Tian-shan. We could add some few species found on 

 the Ladakh-Yarkand roads, and wanting in Turkestan, as 

 Carpodacus stoliczka, Hume ; but then we should also add 

 many more species common to these roads and Russian 

 Turkestan, as Otocorys elwesi, Falco hendersoni, &c. 



In this list of the West-Tibetan birds the letter (P) desig- 

 nates the species found in the Pamir. We see that the Cen- 

 tral-Asian ornithological district (to which belong Tian-shan 

 and the Pamir) spreads to the south-east, and includes North- 

 western Tibet as far as the right bank of the Upper Indus. 

 The eastern limit cannot now be fixed, because the interior 

 of Eastern Tibet is not yet explored. It may be remarked 

 that some forms proper to Tibet were not found by Dr. 

 Scully on his way, but extend to the west and north-west of 

 it as far as Karakul ; such, for instance, are Syrrhaptes tibe- 

 tanus, Larus brunneicephalus, and others above mentioned. 



The Mammal-faunas have different limits ; and that of Tibet 



* lu Tibet as a straggler.
