In this report, compiled from the official Russian sources, of the expe- 
dition from Kulja, across the desert of Gobi, along the river Tarim, 
and to the northern base of the Altyn-tagh range, a list is given of 48 
species of birds observed in winter on the Tarim ; amongst these are 2 
on which new names are bestowed : Podoces tarimensis [= P. hiddulphi] 
and Rhopophilus deserti, which is described as larger and paler than R. 
pekinensis. There are also other remarks on the birds of several 
localities.
