Onstalet {Nouv. Arch, ^f>lx. Paris, 19111) seemed to doubt the validity of 

 Mr. Grant's wingatei, on the ground that several e.xamples killed by Prince Henry 

 of Orleans between Mienning and Yun-chan and Ouang-kanjji (French spelling) 

 appeared to him identical with the t3'pical Sita cyanuroptera. Having compared 

 S. c. wingatei with S. cijanuroptera and <S. c. iordida Hume, I have come to the 

 conclusion that this form is a good subspecies intermediate between the Himalayan 

 and Burmese birds. Mr. Grant states {Ihis, 1900, ji. 593) that in wingatei the tips 

 of the bastard wing-feathers are not tipped with white, but in some instances these 

 feathers show minute points of white, thongh these are never so pronounced as la 

 the trne .S'. cyanuroptera ; nor is it invariably the case that " only the inner webs 

 of the outer pair of tail-feathers are white." A character in ?r//?^f//('/ that appears 

 to have escaped Mr. Grant's notice is that the secondaries are never jiosteriorly 

 margined with a distinct white edge, as in ci/anuroptera. S. c. sordiila is a duller 

 bird, with still less white in its wings and tail. It is, of course, possible that two 

 forms are found in Yunnan — .S'. cyanuroptera in the north-west and S. c. wingatei 

 in the southern portions of the province.

Staphidia torqueola Swinh. 



[Although Onstalet includes Staphidia torqueola Swinh. in his list of the birds 

 obtained in Yunnan by Prince Henry of Orleans (cf. Bull. Mus. Paris, \x'M\,\k 184), 

 he afterwards admits that the Prince's specimen was obtained near Man-hao, Tonkin 

 (cf. Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, 1901, p. 289).] 



180. Yuhina gularis Hodgs. 

 Specimens from Yunnan have been sent to the Paris Museum by Prince Henry 

 of Orleans and by M. Soulie from Tsekou, in the extreme north of that province 

 (cf. Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, 1901, p. 291). 



181. Yuhina diademata Verr. 

 The Paris Museum has received specimens from Tsekou, in the extreme north 

 of Yunnan Province, and Ogilvie-Grant (/bis, 190(|, p. 592) records it from the east 

 (Wiugate).
