both sides of the pass along the Arpalak river. Other 
specimens, some immature, were obtained at Tikshe, near 
Le, on the Indus, and also at Kargil, in Ladak. Similar 
Wagtails (but they may possibly all have belonged to the 
next species) were observed in many places where there was 
water, in the plains of Yarkand, and again in Hill Yarkand, 
at Mallik Shah, and the Karatag Lake (15,000), on the 
return journey. [G. H.~\ 
591. Motacilla personata (Gould). 
I believe that this is the species described by Dr. Jerdon 
as M. dukhunensis, Sykes, and have assigned the number 
accordingly. \_A. O. H.~\ 
One specimen in full breeding plumage of M. perso7cata 
was obtained at Oi Tograk, in the plains of Yarkand, and 
others, as well as nestling birds, in August, along the 
Arpalak river. Generally, wherever there was water through- 
out Yarkand, similar Wagtails were observed ; but many of 
these probably belonged to the preceding species. [G. H.'] 
There seems little doubt that both birds breed in 
Yarkand, and that M. luzoniensis, at any rate, breeds also 
in Ladak. [A. O. H.'] 
592. Calobates sulphurea (Bechstein). 
A single specimen of this graceful little Wagtail was 
obtained at Kargil, Ladak, on the 23rd of October. £G. HJ] 
I doubt now whether many of this species breed in the 
Himalayas. A few, I know, breed in Kashmir, but the 
great majority certainly go further north, probably to 
Southern Siberia, where Radde found them common, and 
where they arrive early in May. \^A. O. if.] 
594. Budytes citreoloides (Gould). 
This species was found throughout Kashmir and Ladak, 
and was noticed as high as 11,000 feet, at a small lake 
surrounded by snow on the Zoji-la Pass. Doubtless the 
bird breeds in both provinces. The specimens obtained in 
May, June, and July were all in fuU breeding plumage ; 
the entire head, neck, and under parts brilliant sulphur 
yellow ; the six central tail feathers and the whole of the
