Alauda cristata, Severtzoff, p. 67.

Horizontal range. Breeds in all four districts. 
Vertical range. Breeds in districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, commonly

At page 142 he writes as follows :— a Calandrella brachy¬ 
dactyla during summer inhabits districts around those inha¬ 
bited by C. leucophcea on the west, north, and east, and ranges 
from the Thian-shan to the steppes of the Syr Darja, Chuish, 
and Ilish, where, however, in the winter it is replaced by C. 
leucophcea ” As a subspecies he further includes a bird under 
the name of 
Calandrella brachydactyla , (3. tenuirostris, at p. 67 
(. Horizontal range. Breeds in district 1Y. 
Vertical range. Breeds in district 2), 
but gives no characters by which it may be distinguished.

Of this species a careful description is given at page 142; 
but I cannot describe it better than by calling it a pale desert 
form of Calandrella pispoletta , the species which occurs on 
the Yolga. The measurements are given as follows :—Total 
length 7", extent 11" 6 W , wing 3" 8" 1 , tail 2" 7'", tarsus 7f m , 
middle toe 4f ,7/ , hind toe S'", hind claw 4J 7// , culmen 3J"', 
thickness of the bill 2"'. He further states that it is found in 
the Syr Darja district, but is not very common, being met
