by Ur. Radde in his ' Ornis Caucasica.' He also says (Bull. Soc. Mosc. n. s. iii. p. 768) that he 

 saw several of these Chats during the last days of August on the steep banks of the Attrek, near 

 Jagly-Oloum and Tschat. They were probably on migration. 



Mr. S. Scully obtained two specimens, both males, in Gilgit, where he says (Ibis, 1881, 

 p. 444) it " appears in very small numbers, and probably on migration only ;" and Major Biddulph 

 procured an adult male at the same place on the 4th June, and remarks (Ibis, 1882, p. 277) that 

 three others were seen at the same time. 



According to Severtzoff it breeds in North-western Turkestan, and possibly also in the 

 south-western portion, where it is usually met with on passage. 



The adult male figured and described is the type, which the late Dr. Peters, of Berlin, kindly 

 forwarded to me in order that I might describe and figure it ; and the second figure on my Plate 

 is that of the male from Tschimkent in my own collection. 



In the preparation of the above article I have examined the following specimens : —
