Dr. C. B. TiCEHDRST also described the following new- 

 subspecies of Indian birds : — 



(1) Phylloscopxis proregulus simlaensis, subsp. nov. '~V" 



Differs from Ph. p. newtoni in having the upper parts 

 brighter, more olive-yellow, not so dull olive ; the head- 

 bands are not so dark, supercilium more pronounced and 

 more sulphur-yellow, also the cheeks ; wing-formula as in 

 P. p. neiotoni. 



Differs from Ph. p. proregulus in having a different wing- 

 formula (2nd = 9th or 10th) ; more of a yellowish, not so 

 green a shade on the upper parts, supercilium not so bright 

 a yellow colour, and the underparts usually less white. 



Type-locality. Simla. 



Type. In Brit. Mus. Simla, Nov. 2, 1880 {Davison). 

 No. 86. 7. 8. 1193. 



Distribution. Gilgit, Cashmere, east to Gharwal. 



Gatke's P.p. newtoni ('Ibis,' 1889, p. 579), from descrip- 

 tion is evidently the eastern Himalayan bird. He gives only 

 " India" as type-locality, and this I restrict to Darjheeling. 



P. p. simlaensis is a very distinct race, and can be 

 usually separated at a glance. 



(2) lanthocincla lineatum ziaratensis, subsp. nov. — ^ 



Stands nearest to I. I. gilgit, but is even paler than that 

 race. It differs in having much paler rusty, not chestnut 

 ear-coverts ; grey, not olive-brown, rump and upper tail- 

 cov^rts, and grey, not grey-brown, belly ; the markings on 

 the breast paler and yellower, not red-brown ; the golden- 

 brown edges to the wings and tail are also somewhat paler. 

 It lacks the white-ticked throat which /. I. gilgit has. 



Type-locality. The juniper forest of Ziarat, nr. Quetta, 

 N. Baluchistan (8000 ft.). 



Type. In Brit. Mus. 1590, S ad. Ziarat, N. Baluchistan, 

 25. 9. 1919 {ex coll. G. B. T.). 



A very distinct race and easily separable, 



(3) I find the race Mirafra erythroptera.^ which inhabits 

 Sind, is not the same as the bird described by Jerdon ; it has
