Hab. Khamba Jong, Tibet, Oct. 9, 1903. [No. 146.] 



Obs. This is a larger and darker bird than L. brevirostris, 



of which the average length of wing is 2*96 inches, whereas 



in the Tibetan bird the average is 3T5. In my series of 



seventeen skins the marking of the tail is constant, the white 



on the inner web of the outer tail-feathers is very much less 



(about half as much in extent), and the colour of the abdomen 



and. under tail-coverts is not white as in L. brevirostris, 



but strongly rufescent, and the sides of the body have distinct 



rufescent stripes.
