437. Sitta rnpicola Blanf . = Sitta neumayer rupicola. 



Sitta rupicola Blanford, Ibis, 1873. p. 87 (" In montibus Persiois praesertim in Elburg saxa soopu- 

 losque frequentana "). 



Type : $ juv., Lura Valley, Elburg Mountains, N. Persia, 6,500 feet, 9.viii. 

 1872. W. T. Blanford leg. No. 572. 



Blanford never noticed that his types were juvenile birds, and he mixed 

 up his rupicola of North Persia with S. neumayer tschitscherini- oi Isfahan and 

 Shiraz. The type specimen is marked on the label by Blanford : " type-figured 

 specimen, Ibis, 1873, p. 87," and on the back of the label " specimen-figured 

 Zoology of Persia." 



I united formerly tephronota and rupicola, but corrected my error, p. xxxii. 

 of my book. The type specimen has been in the Indian Museum, but was made 

 a " duplicate " and thus came into our hands.
