,506 Mr. N. B. Kiiinear oji the Birds collected [Ibis, 



Colonel F. M. Bailey, in June 1913, at Shako, south-east 

 Tibet. A specimen was obtained by Colonel Waddell at 

 Chaksam in the Tsang Po Valley during the Tibet Mission, 

 and was erroneously described as uew by Dresser in the 

 P. Z. S. for 1905, under the name of Garrulax tibetanus. 

 This bird appears to be confined to south-east Tibet and 

 the Valley of the Tsang Po, froni whence it has probably 

 spread into the upper sources of the Arun River, and 

 Mr. WoUaston^s specimens extend the range considerably 

 to the westward. It is rather surprising that T. afjinis ajjinis 

 was not met with, since it is found in Nepal, very common 

 in the Chumbi Valley, and Blanford obtained specimens at 

 an elevation of 13,000 ft. in Sikkim. 



[Locally in the Arun Valley and its branches, up to 

 13,000 ft. This bird has a wonderful diversity of song, and 

 is revered as sacred b}^ the Tibetans. — A. F.H. W.] 



Troglodytes sp. ? 



2b^ imm. 2^.7.21 Ptise La 16,500 ft. 



Unfortunately the single specimen obtained by Mr. 

 Wollaston is a young bird, and one would hardly be justified 

 ill ('ivino- it a name, thouoh it is verv much darker than 

 T. nipalensls of about the same age, and without doubt 

 belongs to an undescribed form. 



[Found only in mountainous regions between 16,000 and 

 18,000 ft., where it lives amongst the large boulders of 

 moraines. It is exceedingly difficult to collect, as the bird 

 when shot is liable to fall into crevices between immovable 

 boulilers — of four birds shot, only one (immature) was secured. 

 The song is similar to, but easily recognisable from, that of 

 the (Jommon Wren.— A. F.R. W.] 



Cinclus cinclus cashmirensis Gould. 



262 imm. 1.8.21 Chulungphu 13,000 ft.; 379 c?, 380 

 iiiim., 381 imm. 11.8.21,307 ^ 20.8.21 Kliarta 12,000 ft. 



In the P. Z. S. for 1859 Gould described two Dippers 

 (Cinclus cashmirensis and C. sordidus) , both of which were 

 obtained by A. L. A.dams near the Tso Morari Lake in Ladak.
