Colonel Biddulph has furnished us with the accompanying note : — “ Both corlll ^^j 0 p 
going we found this common in the Karakash Yalley below Shahidula (11,500 f ee y flje 
the Yarkand side of the Sanju Pass (9000 feet) ; also in Waklian (9000 feet) ; a S ain ^. er e 
Kulustan Valley (10,000-11,000 feet) coming up to the Yangidewan Pass, where tuo ^ 
not very common. They were very abundant in June at Tutujalak (13,000 feet) bet" 
Nobra Valley and the Tussia Pass.” _ ^ grid 
Dr. Henderson procured a specimen on the 9th of October near the Pangong ‘ ^ ]ie 
two young birds were also obtained on the Arpalak River on the 13th of Augnsb a ^_ t( \ 
remarks that the species probably breeds in the neighbourhood. Dr. Scully wriR^^gpu 
pair of this fine species was first observed in a rocky gorge between Mazar and the 
Pass ; they hopped from the buckthorn hushes growing by the side of a small A 10 ban** 9 
stream and mounted up the hillside. After that this species was often seen along 'fb 6 
of the Karakash from Kurgan Ali Nazar to Oibuk (elevation 10,700 to 11,700 f e ® ^ ji 0 se- 
arrival of our camps at Toghrasu on the 22nd August greatly disturbed a family of tb 0 
Pinch ; the male bird especially was very excited, flying backwards and forwards a 
hillside and crying shrilly to its two youngsters to follow it out of reach of dang cl • ^ pint 
all the birds of this species which I shot were found to have the hills stained a s°| ^ er ry, aS 
colour ; this was probably due to the birds having been feeding on some kind ° 
the colour rubbed off on wetting.”
