  (Right-hand

  The 
  sides 
  and 
  flanks 
  are 
  grey 
  in 
  the 
  Kashmir 
  bird, 
  chestnut 
  in 
  the 
  Western 
  Koklass, 
  and 
  nearly 
  

   black 
  in 
  the 
  Nepal 
  form. 
  

  

  Their 
  habits 
  are 
  similar, 
  and 
  in 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  their 
  mountainous 
  range 
  we 
  find 
  conifers 
  overhead, 
  and, 
  

   as 
  in 
  the 
  painting, 
  beds 
  of 
  tall 
  saxifrage 
  pushing 
  up 
  through 
  the 
  fallen 
  needles 
  and 
  cones, 
  their 
  filmy 
  

   heads 
  nodding 
  in 
  the 
  dim 
  forest 
  light.
