" This species was again met with at Bora and Oi Tográk, in the plains of Yärkand. Only one specimen, a nearly adult female, was obtained. The Yärkandis call it the Zar guldar, a name apparently borrowed from the Persians. [G. H.] It is most remarkable that the Yarkand bird should be identical with the Indian, and not the European bird (O. galbula). There is, however, no mistake about the matter, for both Colonel Tytler and myself possess series of both species, and I have carefully compared the Yärkand bird with all of these.
