Five specimens, Mongtse, S. Yunnan (Owston). 



Two of the Yunnan specimens are very golden in their colours, and are 

 indistinguishable from the typical Indian Z. p. palpebrosa, while the other three, 

 being greener and with paler throats, are rather nearer the Chinese simplex. 

 The Yunnan birds therefore appear somewhat intermediate between the Chinese 

 and Indian forms. They may jiossibly be referable to Oustalet's Z. p. mussoti 

 (cf. Oust. Ann. Sci. Nat. 1891, p. 289, and Hartert, Nov. Zool. xvii. p. 242), but 

 without any Sechuan birds to compare them with it is impossible to say for certain. 

 Oustalet's birds from Mussot appear, however, to measure rather less ; the average 

 length of their wings being giveu as 52 mm., while the Yunnan birds average 

 56 mm. The bills of the latter are all small.
