Grini(jcr (jiittiinilis auctorum. 



Most authors have hitherto confounded at least two different species luider the 

 name of Criniger yutturalis. The oldest name for one of this gronp is tepltroqem/s. 

 This was only recognised quite recently by Dr. Sharpe. The original descrii)tion is 

 not quite bad, but the figure is so wretched that it could only be decided by the type, 

 now in the British Museum, to which species this fephrO(/eni/s belonged, esjiccially as 

 the locality was (juite uncertain. There is no doubt that it represents a bird with a 

 yellow abdomen. The throat is white, foreneck to chest more or less grey, with 

 greenish yellow edges to the feathers, forming streaks, breast and abdomen yellow, 

 sides of body brownish olive-yellow, under tail-coverts ochraceons, thighs also 

 ochraceous, feet of a darkish flesh-colour, iris brownish red. Bill above blackish,

 Inle and Hemixus are lianlly separable), which has a green back, but a new form of lale hdti Sninli., 

 hitherto only known from Southern China. It differs, however, from /. holti in its lighter, more whitish, 

 not nisty rufous abdomen. The wing is also longer, the back a faint sliade lighter, and perhaps also the 

 upper wing-coverts less grejishy, more green. Wing 108, tail 115 mm. I name this excellent new form
