Unfortunately the Owston collection contains only a single female. This is 

 certainly not I), semicoronatus (which has the middle of the back barred, whilst 

 D. scintilliceps has the upper back unbarred), although this is the species (cf. 

 Hanfllist, vol. ii. p. 219) said to be found in Ynnnan. The specimen before me 

 agrees fiiirly well with a female from Foochow, but has the bill slightly larger and 

 the grey on the head reaching almost to the nape. 



There are three specimens of undoubted ]). p. scintilliceps from Ynnnan in the 

 British Museum (Rippon collection). These also have large bills ; but this does not 

 appear to be a very reliable characteristic in the present species, as I have seen 

 a specimen from Pekin with an ecjually large bill. 



There is no reason to believe that semicoronatus ranges east of Manipur. 



Anderson's " lijngipicus rubricatus " (cf. Anderson, W. Yunnan, ii. p. 585) 

 doubtless refers to the above species.
