Saxicola isabellina Cretzschm. 



Four specimens, an adult male and three youngish examples, 

 Tchegan-Burgazi Pass. July 7 to July 15. This much more robust 

 species was found in the same regions with oenanthe but was very 

 rare comparatively.

 Two adult males, Chuisaya Steppe, July 28.

 Anteliocichla agricola agricola (Jerdon). 

 One adult female, Topucha, August 5.

 One adult female, Topucha, August 8. 



Phylloscopus collybita abietina (Nilsson).

 and Topucha, July 1 to August 9. Examples were taken in the 

 scattering larches up to 8,650 feet. 



LANIIDAE. 



Lanius crist atus phoenicuroides (Schalow). 

 Two males, neither quite adult, Topucha, August 8 and 9. 



PARIDAE. 

 Poecile ctnctus sayana Suschkin. 



Two adults, male and female, taken at Topucha, August 7 and 8. 

 These two birds were in much abraded plumage and the color char- 

 acters are therefore not very obvious, but the large bill is noticeably 

 different from that of P. c. cinctus (Boddaert) or P. c. obtcctus Cabanis-
