ACREDULA TEPHRONOTA Giinther. [B. 231; W. 529.] 
Acredula tephronota passekit Sar.,Orn. Monatsb. xii. p. 164.

M. Sarudny has separated the Long-tailed Tit of the 
Persian oak-woods on account of its paler coloration. 
I pointed out in the ‘ Ibis,’ 1903, p. 529, that it was slightly 
paler, but the difference is so inconspicuous that it might

ANTHOSCOPUS PENDULINUS (L.).  [*B. 232.] 
&. June 14, near Lake Urmia. 
This bird was found by De Filippiin N.W. Persia, but was 
not seen by Dr. Blanford. 
REGULUS REGULUS.

The specimen is in juvenile plumage with no crest.

I can see no difference between these birds and my own 
from S.W. Persia and others from Europe. 
MovraciLia PERSICA. 
Motacilla personata Gould, var. persica [B. 232]. 
o. Feb. 27, Ahwaz.

Even when taking migrating birds into consideration, the 
breeding-range of this form and that of the White Wagtail 
seem to overlap, and on this account it is difficult to 
regard M. persica as a geographical race. Dr. Blanford 
obtained specimens of both birds at Shiraz in June and at 
Kerman in May, and one can hardly look upon these as
