6. Remiza yeniseensis Sushkin. 
Remiza yentseensis Sushkin, Bull, brit. Ornith. Club, Vol. 14, p. 44 (1904) (« Mongoliz septentrionalis pars inter 
juga Sayan et Tannu-ola posita, ad cursum superiorem fluminis Yenisei »; type examined). 
Hab. Central Siberia : Upper Yenissey (Kemtchik River, Mount Chaircham). 
Obs Doubtful form. If anything it will prove to be a geographical race of R. pendulina. No adult males 
are known; the types — immature OC — differ from the corresponding plumage of R. p. jaxartensis, 
with which they snare the shortness of the bill and yeneral coloration, by lacking the chestnut line 
behind the whitish frontal band. 
7. Remiza coronata (Severtzow). 
ZEgithalus coronatus Severtzow, Izv. Obshch. Moskov. Vol. 8, no 2, p. 136, pl. 9, f. 3 (1873) (Naw near Chodjent, 
on the Syr-Darja, Samarkand); Zeitschr. ges Ornith. Vol. 4. 1887, p. 103 (transl.). 
Egithalus atricapillus Severtzow, ibidem, p. 137, pl. 9, ff. 4, 5(1873) (Syr-Darja near Perowsk; also near Djimkent 
and in the Oigoum Mountains, not far from ‘ashkent); Zeitschr. ges. Ornith. Vol. 4, 1887, p. 105 (transl.). 
Iiab. Transcaspia (Tedshen, Merw), West Turkestan (Guldja, north of the Alai Range, Amu Darja, 
Syr-Darja. Sarafshan), south to adjoining parts of Afghanistan and Eastern Persia; in winter 
migrating as far southwards as Kohat and Sindh in Western India. 
8. Remiza ssaposhnikowi (Johansen). 
Anthoscopus ssaposhnikowt Johansen, Ornith, Jahrb. Vol. 18, p. 201 (1907) (Shore of Lake Balkash, west of the 
River Karatal). 
Fig. Johansen, Vogel des Siebenstromgebietes und Turkestans, gesammelt von der Exped. des Prof. 
W. W. Ssaposhnikow im Jahre 1902 Tomsk, 1908, pl. 1. 
Hab. South shore of Lake Balkash, west of the River Karatal. 
Obs. This little-known form requires further confirmation, According to Johansen it agrees in the length 
of the spurious (first) primary with R. macronyx, but differs widely in coloration : having only the 
forehead and sides of the head black, the pileum chestnut, the nape and lower back buff, the 
interscapulium cinnamon-rufous, the throat white, rest of under parts pale buff, shaded with pink 
on the chest. It would thus seem to be very similar to R. /. cuspra in coloration, still it may turn out 
to represent a stage of the next form.
