At page 145 he writes as follows :—“ The sporadic occur¬ 
rence of Cypselus melba is somewhat remarkable. I only ob¬ 
tained one specimen in Karatau, on some rocks, and met with 
it again about 300 versts to the south, in a small rocky chain 
called Mogot-tau, near Chodjent; but it has not been observed 
between these two places, nor east of Karatau. Mr. Fed- 
chanko, however, observed it in 1869 in Samarcand. It 
breeds numerously near Boroldai, and a few pairs near Chod¬ 
jent, as also in Samarcand. Specimens from Turkestan agree 
closely with European examples.”
