by Dr. Dybowski near Lake Baical; Homeyer has one skin 
from Tura; and Radde found it at Tarei-nor, in lat. 56°, 
and in the Bureja mountains, in lat. 58°. In winter it has been 
obtained near Pahpoon in India [Davison, Stray Feathers, 
1874, p. 505). 
This species is nearest allied to P. fuscatus , but differs 
from that bird in the shape of the bill, which is of about the 
same length and width at the base, but much stouter and 
blunter at the point, having a profile quite Finch-like in com¬ 
parison with the slender Phylloscopine type. 
The nest and eggs of this bird are unknown.
