CONTRIBUTION TO THE MONGOLIAN ORNIS 
WITH DESCRIPTION OF SOME NEW SPECIES. 
By Dr. J. v. Madarász. 
(Plate IV.) 
With the present communication I want to clear accounts about 
a small collection of bird-skins which I acquired through the «Hazai 
Zoologiai Laboratorium» in Budapest. This collection originating from 
Transbaikalia respectively from the northern parts of the Mongolian 
Mountains and which contains some new species collected by 0. Teich- 
mann and F. Wejske in April—July 1908. 
1. Turdus ruficollis 9 Pall. — Two male specimens. «Monda, Sib., 
Chinesische Grenze», May 26. 
2. Turdus obscurus , Gm. — Two male specimens. Tibelti, River 
Irkut, East-Sibiria, June 5. 
3. Cincius sp. ? — Two female specimens from the Tunk an Moun¬ 
tains, April 5 and 6. One specimen is larger and considerably darker 
in colour, and has the upper part dark chocolate brown, darkest on 
the rump; cheeks, throat and breast white, mottled with brown, these 
mottled markings are most distinct on the throat and sides of breast ; 
belly chocolate brown gradually shading into blackish on the under tail- 
coverts. Total length 180, wing 86, tail 52, bill 14, tarsus 27 mm. The 
other specimen is considerably lighter above and below ; rump and 
upper tail-coverts dark slate instead of chocolate brown ; throat and 
chest white with only few brown markings, but a brown band runs 
backwards on the cheeks from the angle of the lower mandible on 
both sides. 1 Total length 172, wing 83, tail 47, bill 16, tarsus 28 mm. 
4. Tharrhaleus tetricus, n. sp. (Plate IV, fig. 1.) — One male 
specimen from the Saigan Mountains in Mongolia, May 11. Description : 
Above greyish-brown with blackish longitudinal streaks on the mantle ; 
1 It is remarkable that this marking is less distinct in the other specimen 
described above.
