Hodgson's MoLintain-Fincdi ranges from Nej)al into C'hina, 

 and to the west of the former country it is replaced by 

 F. n. altaica, in which the axillaries are pale ashy and not 

 yellow. Only one example of this Finch was obtained 

 during the Tibet mission and no others were seen, but in 

 the higher parts of Sikkim it is a common bird. The allied 

 race altaica was shot by Stoliczka up to 15,000 ft. in north 

 Lahul, and Mr. Osmaston found nests at 13,500 ft. in 

 Garhwal.
