Mr. Douglas Carrutliers on the 
S. isahellina. S. oenanthe was only obtained high up in the 
mountains. S. isahellina is common from the Bokharan 
deserts, at an altitude of 500 ft., up to the Samarkand steppe 
at 2500 ft. I also found it breeding in small numbers at 
9500 ft. in the Hissar Mts. 
Severtzoff mentions that he found S. isahellina common in 
the high Pamirs, where it bred. 
It is a summer visitor to the Zarafschan Valley, arriving 
in mid-March.

The commonest Chat in the Zarafschan Valley is S. morio. 
Arriving in mid-March on the lower deserts and in April on 
the higher country, it breeds in localities varying from 500 
to 4000 ft. in altitude. I have rarely seen it as high as 
8000 ft. 
On the 10th May I took a nest of this Chat, at 4000 ft. 
on the hills near Samarkand. The nest was placed under a 
rock, and was made entirely of grass, lined with hair. These 
Chats pass southwards during October in great numbers.

mens during the whole year.
