Accentor fulvescens, Severtzoff, pp. 66, 132. 
Horizontal range. Is found in winter in districts I., II., 
and III., and breeds in districts I. and II. 
Vertical range . Occurs in winter in districts 2 and 3—rarely, 
however, in the former; breeds in district 4, and possibly in 
district 5, as it is found there in summer. 
Dr. Severtzoff’s description of this bird suits closely my 
specimens of A. montanellus , and I should say that the 
species found by him must be this; but not having compared 
examples from Turkestan, I cannot speak with certainty, 
as there may possibly be some trifling difference in the 
Turkestan bird. 
169. Accentor altaicus, Brandt; Severtzoff, pp. 66, 133. 
Horizontal range. Breeds in districts I., II., and IY. 
Vertical range. Breeds in districts 4 and 5. 
Dr. Severtzoff states that the present species somewhat 
resembles Accentor alpinus , being its representative in Central 
Asia. He describes it as follows :—“ Crown, nape, cheeks, 
sides and back of the neck, and fore and hind parts of the 
back greyish brown with an olive tinge; centre of the back, 
scapulars, and wings blackish, with rust-coloured edges; tail- 
feathers, except the central ones, with white ends on the inside 
of the feathers; throat white, with a narrow black stripe 
below; the sides marked with black spots; below the black 
stripe is a brownish bar across ; rest of the underparts rust- 
coloured, with broad white edges; centre of the abdomen white; 
1 st primary very short, 4>3>2>5, or 2=3=4; central rec- 
trices l\ ,n shorter than the outer ones. Male—total length 
7", extent 11", wing 3" 7"', tail 2" 4 W , tarsus 9'", middle toe
