One male, 15 miles northwest of Ninghsia (Holanshan Mountains), 

 Kansu, May 12; one female, 157 miles northwest of Paotow, Inner

117. OENANTHE DESERTI ATROGULARIS (Blyth) 



Saxicola atrogularls Blyth, Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, 1847, p. 131 (Upper 

 provinces, Seine! e, etc.). 



One male and two females. Inner Mongolia (70 miles northwest, 

 March 31, and 157 miles west-northwest of Paotow, April 7 and 8) ; 

 tAvo males, Kansu (100 and 105 miles northwest of Ninghsia, April 

 24 and 25). 



The male taken April 25 lacks the white rump and upper-tail 

 coverts. Upon careful examination the latter seem to be entirely 

 lacking ; as some fresh new white feathers, concealed by the longer old 

 ones, are coming in around the base of the tail, the character of the 

 breeding plumage will probably be assumed later. The specimen 

 does not differ from the other two males otherwise, except the tail is 

 somewhat shorter. 



118. OENANTHE ISABELLINA (Temminck) 



Saxicola isabelUna Temminck, Pi. Col., livr. 79, 1829, pi. 472, fig. 1 (Nubia).
